Fourth of July Weekend

We had a great 4th of July weekend, with beautiful weather and good time spent together. Mikey had off work Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday so we have been able to spend a lot of time together! As I mentioned in my last post, he switched hours at work, so he is no longer going to have to struggle with the night hours! Hopefully he’s been able to catch up on rest the past few days!


Jenine came for a visit this weekend. On Sunday we went to the Blackwater River State Park, and it was better than our expectations. There are Cypress trees, long boardwalks, pavilions, and even the sand is white like the beach. The water is clear and shallow, but it does have a swift current, so we definitely had to help Grady out! We really enjoyed our day at the river and plan to go back soon.

Sunday evening, we went over to Elaine’s for sparklers, snaps, and fried chicken. Grady LOVED throwing the snaps down and listening to them pop! When we came home, we sat outside for a while with the neighbors while they shot a few fireworks in the street. He was wiped out and just sat on my lap in a daze.

Today, after two beautiful, sunny days, it rained again, but that was ok with us… we are just thankful for the nice weekend and time spent together… I leave for California on Wednesday! Here are some pics from the weekend…

He does look sleepy in one picture! That is so good that you were able to spend some family time together before you go to Katie's. The state park looks nice too. Probably crowded with all the oil mess at the beach, but good there are still places to cool off.
