4th of July!

Every year we talk about going somewhere cooler for the July 4th weekend - and every year we somehow end up at home melting in the heat!

This year, we spent the morning swimming, the afternoon napping and the evening with our neighbors at their mom's house. I wish I had taken a picture of her house....it is lovely. Right out of a magazine. A white cottage with a big wrap around porch with plenty of comfy seating! And the inside is just as delightful! Lovely table settings, DELICIOUS food and plenty of fun for the kids. We ALL had a wonderful time!



Madden was in LOVE with this little tricycle....maybe we need to get one for his birthday?!










We ate and ate and ate - wonderful brisket, squash casserole (and I don't even like squash!), homemade fried okra, fresh fruit and homemade beer bread! Oh my!


After dinner, the dads went to get some fireworks and the kids played. Once it got dark, we headed outside to play with the sparklers.





Last year, I didn't let Madden play with the sparklers, but this year, we decided he could try. Oh my. He did pretty well, but certainly scared us a few times while waving it near his clothes!










Beautiful Presley! She is SO sweet and plays so well with the little guys.....and helps to keep them out of trouble!




Look at that face....




We were able to watch the fireworks from the neighborhood. Watching the fireworks and scared to death....Madden kept asking if he could go home. Maybe next year he will actually like them!









Happy 4th of July from the Moores!
