A Grand Ol' Fourth!



This 4th of July was so much FuN!  Brinton and Caitlin hosted the festivities in their back yard and brought back many long-lost traditions.  When my grandpa Ferguson was alive the 4th was one of our most beloved and celebrated holidays.  But for the past few years it hasn't been the same and I'm so happy that Brinton and Caitlin brought it back in such great style - I just hope they know that we're expecting that they have this holiday covered from here on out!

Everyone had such a great time and so much food, fun and laughter is really what family is all about...
These pics are a little out of order...this was near the end of the night.  Cousins waiting for s'more s'mores.

chee-eese!


bug a boo


if you've ever seen my dad have a laughing attack you know it's the best ever - it looks like he's crying here but he just got soaked before bobbing and he's starting his infamous laugh attack





soaked

everyone is on the hunt for more water or victims



Lucy (or goose as Caitlin calls her) cooling off in the pool

Donning our hats and flags before the big march ~ my grandpa started this tradition and he'd blast patriotic music from the patio and we'd march around their gazebo.  Caitlin started up the music and we started our march - and since my grandma lives just two doors down from Caitlin we ALL marched down to her house and around the gazebo just like old times for Grandpa!

You got WAY better pictures than I did, minus the one of me in nightwear. Lucy is so cute in her frog pool, which is still up in our backyard... guess I'll have to take it down and bring it to you guys, I forgot about it! Thanks for coming and making it so much fun!
