Our Fourth weekend




What a weekend!
On Friday we went to one of our favorite
places to pick blueberries.
Gracie Shu was all pumped up for the day
after reading Blueberries for Sal over & over.
(I have read this book to all our kids when they were
little, & they all still love it!)

Saturday was the neighborhood pool party.
Sounds corny , but every year I get a little
choked up when the neighborhood kids
parade around the pool in their homemade
floats & decorated bikes & wagons
to the background of Lee Greenwood's
God Bless the USA...
(gotta love the south)
Prayer followed by bbq
& the pool games that haven't changed
since the girls were little.
Love it.

Sunday began with a wonderful morning
worshiping as a family at church.
(Thank you God for this freedom!)
That evening we headed downtown with our
friend Diane to picnic, play, people-watch
and take in awesome fireworks!

Summer is flying by WAY to fast...

"I'm done picking!"

Gracie doing her best to hold back as
to not make the other 2 year olds feel badly
about their shooting skills :)




Happy Birthday America!
