Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July Everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday. We had a great day and kept really busy. We played in the water, ate watermelon and grilled bratwurst and went to the fireworks. All the things that should be done on Independence day, but it just felt like something was missing all day long. What was missing was Daddy!


Kate and Cole were all decked out in their patriotic finest...


There were lots of fancy show cars at the fest. This was Cole's favorite.

I'm not sure Kate could have been much more patriotic... Here she is waiting for the fireworks to start.

Self portrait! Only one person missing.

Cole being silly in his 3D fireworks glasses.

The ground fireworks over the lake. It was really pretty in person...

There is definitely something to be said for celebrating The 4th of July on a military post, the patriotism is amazing, the tears are flowing when the National Anthem is played, there was live artillery (one blast for each state in the USA) and I think this may have been the best fireworks display I have seen in a long time. Hey Oliver, let's watch the fireworks as a family next year!
