Fun, Freedom and Fireworks

We had a great 4th of July full of fun, sun, food and fireworks.  We started out our day at the Downtown McKinney Parade.  We may try a different parade next year but Addison loved it and that is all that matters.  She waved to every puppy dog, horse, and car that walked/rolled by.


 
Aunt Ashley was with us too and I was so sad looking back through my pictures that I didn't have one with her.

After the parade we headed home for a morning nap and then off to Brandon's to swim.  Addison was not really into swimming and was more into...well...mowing.
We tried to plan our day so Addison would take another late afternoon nap so she would stay up for fireworks and surprisingly, we were successful!
And a good nap it was...check out that hair!

Next up ...food and fireworks!  My family headed over to our house for some good food and fellowship before fireworks.
Love these two!

Last stop of the day....fireworks at Craig Ranch!  We pulled up on the side of the road not too far from the event and had the best seats.


 Addison loved the fireworks, especially the music that went with them.  She was a dancing machine.
R-O-C-K in the U-S-A anybody?

We are so incredibly, grateful for our freedom and words cannot express the gratitude we have for those that fight for our country. What a wonderful day.  I am already looking forward to next year. The 4th is becoming one of my favorite holidays!

The sign of a good nap is crazy hair. For Avery it includes a sweaty neck! Looked like a fun day!
