I loved 4th of July this year!! Thanks to Kate for creating a taste of a Huntsville 4th of July celebration. It was so nice to have somewhere to go and some way to celebrate this truly great country! (Seriously -- how awesome is she!!!)

Joey running what was probably the most popular booth of the day. kids lined up again and again to shoot nerf discs at those ping pong balls.
Then later that day we went to a holiday cookout and swim party at our friend's house....

Yay I found your blog! I love all your pictures, it looks like you guys had fun! I especially love Lucy's faces ha ha she is the best. My blog is hannahbrown3@blogspot.com...I will add yours to my little side thingy
whoops I mean hannahbrown3.blogspot.com
Lucy's face! Wonderful.
Also, I commented on Kate's blog about the awesome three legged race pic where she and Caleb are running all out. Did they win? Is that why they got bottle-o-pops?
I'm super jealous of your fourth. There were more people than ever in Huntsville this year. Where do they come from?
I just reread and realized what Caleb and Kate were winners of.
Your photos are awesome, by the way.
So great to have another view on this wonderful event, and more pictures of our favorite people. May it be the first of many.
Loved the celebration! And you are a smarty-smart mom for doing a 1/2 bday for Luke!
