4th of July Weekend

The weather around these parts has just been SO gorgeous!

Cool. Blue. Sunny. Breezy. Perfect!!

We could not pass up the opportunity to sleep under the stars on such a cool night last night – especially since no one had to be at work today!

So after we arrived home from church, we set up the tent.

We all played out front while Blake grilled some chicken for dinner. It was so yummy!!

These two. Addie Mae had Tate laughing SO hard! I can still hear that giggle that comes all the way from his toes just by looking at these photos!

Sadie and one of our cats, O’Malley, have the cutest relationship! There are always together! It is hilarious. Right down to having their dinner.

After dinner, as the sun started to go down, the guys made a great fire to sit around.

It was such a great night for sleeping outside!

We each had a sleeping bag and a fleece blanket! Besides having sweatshirts on!

Morning came, and we hung around the fire for several hours – sipping coffee, having breakfast, laughing till our sides hurt, and letting the littles play in the tent!

Memories in the making!

So much I never want to forget!

Especially as we enjoy things that we love on the farm!

It has been a GREAT weekend so far, and we have more friends coming over this evening to eat with us and then we will all head to the fireworks!

We are also looking forward to the kiddos Grandpa and Grandma’s visit! They will be here tomorrow!!

Hope you all are having a great weekend too!!!
