Fourth of July

We spent the fourth of July at my Papaw's house. We had an awesome meal, went to the Park of Roses which is where D and I got married, and watched fireworks from his driveway. The boys had a blast! I'll post pictures from the parade (5th) tomorrow. Here's a recap:

First, we left Papaw's for the rose garden,

When we got there, we looked at the rock dedicated to my grandmother overlooking the wedding garden,


Listened to the band that was playing,

Took time to "stop and smell the roses,"


Climbed in the "couples" tree, a giant weeping tree near the wedding garden with tons of initials carved into it,

and finally watched fireworks, complete with "ear hats" (5.00 at Harbor Freight!)
