Our Fourth of July couldn't have been more perfect! We started the day off with the Ashton parade, we were the last one's to pull in and the first to leave and we came away with half a grocery bag of salt water taffy! It was pretty hot and the kids were needing a drink after all their candy so we pulled into our favorite, "The Frostop" and had some fries and ice cream. Weston went golfing and the kids and I vegged for a couple hours until Hank, Chelsey and their families came over for some food. We were so low key it was almost embarrassing. I fed everyone cold cuts and the kids played in the canal and the yard the whole day.
They had lots of fun if you can't tell, all except Tagg. He was nervous that Hank was going to throw him in the canal and he just wanted to drive the mini coup around. Justin loved the canal and I for sure need to have him come back again. It was a blast!
The kids were all excited about the new baby goats we had. Only two out of seven lived from our two mamas that had babies in the same week.
Cole was rocking his usual summer attire. Its too hot for pants but he can't go without his boots! I love my little cowboy!
We all fought over the adorableness of Miss Rae Rae all day and she was such a gem!
We gave horse rides but Hagen was the only one lucky enough to get his picture of the event.
The grand finale of the whole day was our bon fire. We have been gathering scrap wood for three years now around our place. The neighbors have pitched in their share of wood too, and this was the night with lit that sucker on fire. The plan was to roast some mallows, but that thing was too hot to even do that. However it made a nice heater for those kids who insisted on doing a little evening swim!
We busted out some small fire works and the kids loved throwing them into the canal when they went out. Honestly I couldn't have asked for a funner and more relaxing way to celebrate the birth of our country!
