Fourth of July

A visit to Nana and Papa's on the fourth means:


...a trip to the hardware store (Papa about had a heart attack when I staged this shot. He was afraid he would go home with 3 ride-on lawn mowers. How fun would that be, Papa?!)


... a visit to Larry's produce to get all the fresh fixins for the family BBQ.


(was it easier to carry Ty in the wheelbarrow along with 50 watermelons and 90 ears of corn? Maybe yes. Maybe no.)



... UNO with Aunt Lynn.


... and always some kind of craft with the cousins (not to mention one killer water fight started by the dads that didn't quite make it on my camera roll).




Thanks, Mom and Dad for all of the hard work you put into this tradition.
