Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!  We had such a fun holiday, starting out with the big Whitland neighborhood celebration across the road from us.  It was something else~complete with an orchastra playing patriotic music, the mayor, a reading of the Declaration of Independence, a parade of kids on decorated bikes, and tons of food.  That evening we went our friends, the Goldthorpes, to downtown Franklin.  The kids had a ball listening to the music, running around, splashing in the puddles, and eating pizza.  We didn't get to see many fireworks this year, just a few from the car on the way home, but it was a great time anyways! I took a ton of pictures, but here are just a few...

William was really into the flags
