Fun on the 4th!

I hope that ya'll had a great 4th of July celebration! We started celebrating Saturday night at the ballpark. Here are my girls with my nephews and Juice the Moose:

Let the games begin:

Pretty soon the natives began to get restless:

So we headed for the concession stand where Poppie supplied all the sugar a kid could want:

Yum!

And then the sugar kicked in. Help us all!

In between giggling and talking and doses of sugar and caffeine, we did watch some of the game. Here's proof:

And then it was time for fireworks. I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could actually capture a few of the fireworks while keeping my camera on manual mode...and I did! I was so excited:

Yesterday morning my dad gave a powerful sermon about celebrating not only our country's "Independence" but our absolute "dependence" upon God. It was a wonderful reminder that our country is blessed by God and that as a country and as individuals, we need to get back to being more dependent on Him.

Our family celebrated together with hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill, Pioneer woman's guacamole, PW's Apple pie, and homemade vanilla ice cream. It was all delicious!

Tonight we are going to party some more because that's how we roll. Mr. Incredible's extended family is all getting together. I'm taking my camera along...it should be fun. Poppie has a fresh supply of sugar, I'm sure. Ya'll have a blessed Monday!
