Our 4th

Our 4th of July was pretty packed. Ben and I managed to make it to both sides of the family in one day. Never easy, but always worth it. Ben, Joe and I left for Holly Pond to spend most of the day with the Calverts and most of the extended family. I walked in the door and immediately sat down to a game of cards. Typical. I lost. Not so typical. Haha...but seriously.

We had a huge lunch consisting of all things cookout. Wonderful. I ate way too many ribs. After lunch we sat around on the porch in rocking chairs just talking and being lazy. I could have sat out there for days. We really enjoyed the time we spent with the fam. I love how much a part of the family I feel with the Calverts.

Ben, Joe and I left for Huntsville to meet up with Jen as she was getting off work. We had dinner at my parent's house, along with Mr Alan and Mrs Terry. As soon as I found out the Wares would be there I knew what that meant...butterfinger ice cream!!! THAT is the taste of my childhood at the Ware house. We were running late to get to our parking spot (in a field) for the Star's game fireworks so we took our ice cream to go.

Here we are in the back of Jen's car waiting for the fireworks show. I think Ben had 3 cups of ice cream by then. Seriously. Can't forget the parents! So glad to spend time with Mr Alan and Mrs Terry!! The picture is not so great, but I just wanted proof of the moms and dads.

For anyone who saw the firework show...did something go wrong or was the loud noises with small lights supposed to be finale? We left kinda bummed.

Right after the fireworks, the 4 "kids" came back to our apartment for The Office trivia game.

Perfect end to the day. Well, at least for me and Jen since we have the make the boys play it with us. They love us anyways!
