Happy 4th of July!

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend with a trip to High Hill Ranch! We headed out Thursday after we had packed up the truck with literally every baby item I could think of. We were filled to the brim! A stop at Sonic & an hour and a half later we arrived! The babies ate and then went down for a nap while Mommy and Daddy cooled off in the pool. Aunt Jenn, Uncle T, and Rowan arrived shortly after!

Friday morning Aunt Jenn and I (and Rowan) went to Canton to shop (Canton is about 20 minutes away from the ranch). It was BY FAR the HOTTEST First Monday we had ever experienced. We were dripping with sweat, so it wasn't a long stay. We did get bows for London, and I got the babies each an embroidered onesie. We headed home for another pool day and I took a nice nap with the babies. The heat and lack of sleep really tuckered me out!

Here is London modeling her new onesie and 4th of July hairbow. She even cracked a little smile for the camera!

We did a wardrobe change and she put on her red, white, and blue skirt...and went topless! She doesn't appear overly happy with this look...but it was HOT!

I didn't put Jones in his new onesie (an embroidered green and black John Deere tractor) as these are not Fourth of July colors and we could only be color coordinated this weekend. Ha!

A neat tradition at HHR is that each grandchild has a tree planted in honor of them. Rowan's tree was planted last year, but this weekend Granny & Grampas picked up the stone they had made as a marker. It says "Rowan's Tree - 2008", which is when the tree was planted. The twins will have their trees planted during the winter I believe. I don't know anything about trees, but apparently that's when you need to plant them.

Saturday morning we all headed to downtown Ben Wheeler for their Fourth of July celebration. We had a great time listening to live music on the pickin' porch & eating hot dogs. Rowan even got to sit on a horse, but that lasted for only about 5 seconds. :) We headed home for more pool time! That evening some neighbors came over for dinner and David & Trevor did their fireworks show they have done now for several years. Pretty impressive to have your own display of fireworks that close! They did a great job!

We packed up Sunday morning and headed home. We had a great time at HHR, Granny & Grampas! We can't wait to go back!
