My mom thought it would be fun and patriotic to paint a giant flag on her driveway to celebrate the 4th of July. I told her I thought we should have the cousins do it with footprints and handprints. (Of course I saw a smaller version of this on Pinterest, my new bestest friend.) So, we got the kiddos togeher for some messy fun and got red, white, and blue dirty. Paris, Stratton and Watson loved washing their feet together in the tub outside. Everyone got messy but had just as much fun getting clean!
Watson's cute little toes! He loved seeing his footprints and leaving his mark. He kept right up with the big kids.
We continued the celebratory week with the traditional 4th of July breakfast at Grandma Nettie's. Everyone got plenty to eat--except the scones fell in short supply this year. Weird. Luckily, Grandma made more quickly the late stayers got a second round of the yumminess. Our little family was super lucky to get a visit by our good friends, the Pierce's. They moved to California last summer and we have missed them greatly. We spen the 4th of July with them eating good food, watching fireworks, laughing and playing together. Their stay was much too short but we are so glad we got time together. We can't wait to see them again.
