The beginning of our fireworks adventure! 

We had a very busy but great 4^th of July weekend. Mack did really good most of the weekend. Our celebration started on Friday July 1^st. We went to the downtown celebration in Guntersville with Granna. It was very hot and sticky so we didn’t stay long but we had fun.

            On Saturday July 2^nd. Granna’s side of the family all got together to eat at her house. We have a very big family so there were a lot of people there. Mack got to meet a lot of them for the first time. He met his baby cousin Laine for the first time and several Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins too. He swam in his baby pool with his cousin Jonathon and had a great time. We were not only celebrating the 4^th but we were also celebrating our Mamaw B’s birthday. This was Granna’s mom and her birthday is the 4^th. She was the most amazing woman I know and I love her and miss her everyday. If Mack would have been a girl he would have been named after her, Ila Bernice! She has been gone for a long time but I know that she is watching over my sweet family.

            Sunday we went to the lake to visit with everybody down there. We didn’t take Mack on a boat ride since he hates his life jacket but he did get to visit and lay in his spot in front of the fan and play. He took a little nap while we were there and then we headed home. It was too hot for us to stay out there very long.

            On Monday, the actual 4^th of July, we went to Nana’s house and hung out by her pool. Mack swam in her pool and we got to meet Carter Blevins for the first time. Carter is our friend Brandi’s little boy. He is a month old and is so precious. Mack had one pretty big melt down, of course when Carter was there, but other than that he was good. I think that his gums were hurting, but were still waiting on a tooth to pop out! Monday night was the fireworks show in Guntersville. We were going to go to hole #2 and watch them from up there but those plans fell through. SO we thought we were might could see them from the hill behind our house. We drove up on the hill with our neighbors and discovered that we could not see them from there. This is all happening around 9:00 which is already 30 minutes past Mack’s bedtime! We had been trying to keep him up and it was not easy. He had to have bug spray on since we were outside so he hadn’t had a bath yet either! After we figured out that we could not see the fireworks from the hill and it was too late to go to hole #2 Shon and I drove around trying to find another spot in Gunters Landing that we could see them. We saw a bunch of people watching them on another tee box so we stopped there. We got up onto the tee box and realized that all of the people there were watching the fireworks through a small crack in some trees! We stood there for a minute but decided it wasn’t worth it so we went home. When we got home Mack was super sleepy but he still had to have a bath! I gave him a bath with him screaming the whole time! I got his pajamas on him and got upstairs and was giving him his bottle when Shon came in and said he could see the fireworks from the front room window! So we went through all that when we could have just watched them from the window!

We had a great weekend overall! We are very thankful for our country and for all the men and women who have served or are still serving so that we can have our freedom!
