4th Of July

"Proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free" This song played while the fireworks went off and it was amazing! I love this song, it makes me emotional everytime I hear it. So thankful for our troops and the ones who've passed and layed down their lives for us.Emmitt and Daddy watchin the show- he liked the blue ones, and the smileys.
We had a terrific 4th of July wkend! We got to spend thursday to sunday together. Thursday we went to the pool and spent time as a family. We also went to the local small theater, and watched Wall-E together. It was such a cute movie! It was really fun to have our first family theater experience together. The kids did great throughout the movie, Alaina just got fussy the last 10 min or so. We went to the park and walked our dog. It was great family time!The kids outside the candy shop
On the fourth we headed up to Big Bear Lake for the festivities. We hit the swim beach and swam around with the kids. Then we walked the village shops, and got some candy for the kids, and yummy gellato ice cream from this cute candy shop. Then we had some pizza from the local shop, and headed for our fireworks spot. We had great seats and sat right on the edge of the lake. The fireworks were right in front of us, it was awesome! The people that sat in front of us had a little dog that Alaina just loved! It was sooo cute watching her. She's such an animal lover.Alaina lovin on the "goggy" (that's how she says it)<Emmitt in front of the lakeFourth of July Beauty Queen
