We had a wonderful 4th of July with our family. The kids were in the parade again this year, but since Sas just got a new golf cart and the temps were around 100 degrees we decided that may be cooler than bicycles. Last minute we decorated with a few things from home and some odd and end decor that Doosie found. We dropped the guys and kids off at the start and we headed to our parade spot. In about 30 minutes we get a call that they won "best decorated". We didn't believe them until they passed us in the parade and showed us the $100 check. After the parade we headed to Doc's for a day of fun in the heat I mean sun and some good food. This 4th of July was not usual. Meaning I spent my entire time inside looking and holding our newest addition to the family.  Since the Loudon fireworks had been cancelled due to the heat and dry weather we let the kids do a few fireworks at home and Doosie and Gramps came up to watch them. We ended up sitting in the driveway watching fireworks all around. I am so blessed to have such a close loving family.
