Fourth of July Festivities

I hope that you had a great fourth of July weekend.  We certainly did!

Our long weekend included fireworks...



enjoying some relatively comfortable evening temperatures by grilling and eating alfresco...



and a little hiking trip to enjoy the great outdoors...









I had forgotten how much I love walking around completely surrounded by nature.  Hannah is becoming so independent and adventurous making this mama a little nervous.  I know it is part of life but it is taking some getting used to for me.  Hannah was totally at ease walking on rocks, thin trails and somewhat steep hills all the while refusing my offers to hold her hand.  When she fell she hopped right back up, brushed herself off and continued on like nothing happened.  Thankfully Lily can still be confined to her carrier though if she had her way she would be right next to her sister trying it all out on her own too.

We hope to find time for another escape to the woods soon and Hannah is really hoping our next trip includes a tent. :)

  1. I love all the pictures sister!! Your photography class is really paying off isn't it? Daddy would be so proud of you for getting out and walking with the girls.
    Since Hannah is getting so independent do you think it's time she visits her aunts in Nashville? PLEASE?!?!?
    Much love--Aunt Bekah
