Better late than never??  It seems like it has been forever since I have updated this.  We have been so busy with projects around the house, entertaining the kids, and then my camera battery charger is no where to be found....so there haven't been any new pictures taken in a while....Anyways, here are some pictures from the 4th of July.  Sam and Hannah started their morning at 7 a.m. at the Chimney Springs fishing contest.  

 Here's one of the tiny little fish she caught.  She won first place for her age group with daddy's help of course!

 We had a nice little family cookout for dinner and then tried to do some small fireworks with the kids.  We had considered going out to see real fireworks, but the weather was not so great and we weren't sure how the kids would handle being out so late.  It was a good thing we stayed home, because Hannah hated the fireworks.  The first one was okay.....

 but the second one made some noise and Hannah completely freaked out.  Notice, she is not in this picture enjoying some sparklers.  She is standing in the garage crying to get into the house!  We ended the fireworks quickly and called it a night.  It was so nice to enjoy a family day and celebrate the 4th!
