Since we checked out of our FL condo on the Fourth of July we decided that it wouldn't really be very fun to watch fireworks or celebrate the holiday in the car. We made plans to stop off in Nashville where our good friends, the Ellison's live. We didn't get there until about 7:30 pm and the kids went right upstairs to play. We enjoyed catching up with friends and almost forgot about fireworks all together. We did buy some sparklers in Alabama so we were prepared! The bad news was that a storm was moving through and so between not being able to find any matches and trying to avoid the rain we managed to get 1 or 2 sparklers done, but no one was really into it (except Scott) so we let them just continue playing!
Here are the dads outside with the kids attempting to light the sparklers with a candle! Emma and Reagan were already dressed up. They looked like Little House on the Prairie, except I never remember Laura and her dad doing fireworks together!! Reagan will hate this picture later, but for now with his long wavy hair and round face, Kim and I both agreed he could pass for a girl!
Here is the whole gang! We love these guys...all of them! Emma was in no mood for a picture but this is the best I could get with 7 kids. Sunday morning we went to church with them and then sadly we had to head home. It was a great extension to our trip and made our drive a bit more fun!
