The Fourth

We celebrated Independence Day at my dad's cabin. I already professed my love of parades in an earlier post. The fourth of July is another good parade day, so I made everyone attend the Blue Ridge parade on Saturday! :) It was a cute little small town parade - complete with a John Deer tractor/float! Of course, Michael loved catching the candy that people threw at him!

We headed back to the cabin for lunch and naps and then we were out again to eat BBQ and watch the local firework show! We hung out for a couple of hours enjoying good food, the live music, and people watching!

Love that picture of Isaac and his G-Daddy!

The fireworks were at the marina over the lake... they were beautiful! I wasn't sure what Michael or Isaac were going to think about the fireworks. Michael was a little nervous at first, but ended up loving them - he watched them through his "binoculars"! Isaac was startled a little bit, but ended up sleeping through the whole show!

That was my first time photographing fireworks - so fun!

We then traveled to my mom's house later in the afternoon. We had planned on seeing another fireworks show, but the thunderstorms came rolling in and put a damper (pun intended) on the show! We plan on pulling out the sparklers later this week to make up for it!

Happy Fourth of July to you! Well, by the time you're reading this it's probably the 6th. So, Happy Sixth of July! :)
