Happy Fourth of July!

Started this amazing holiday off with a bang. I visited my grandparents and that was quite the treat. As you already know, my grandpa just lives for pictures. I asked him to take a patriotic photo and next thing I know he is pulling out the props. He walked outside with a pistol. I didn't even know how or why this was happening, but I went with it. Right before the picture he yelled, "Cinco de Mayo!" I was in stitches. That man. Still not sure if he knew what we were celebrating today, but I do like his style. Oh, and Klifford was also visiting. There really is nothing cuter than those two.

Fireworks on the Fourth

We wrapped up the July 4th festivities with a fireworks date on the law school lawn. OK so it wasn't exactly a date. Tad's friend Tim met up with us at the show. Who says three is a crowd? We also had a little picnic with burgers and fries. A perfect way to end a great holiday. What's not love about fireworks and fries? God bless America.

P.S. Came home yesterday to a clean-shaven man. Tad said, "Happy Two Month Anniversary." Always keeping me on my toes.

Carnival Celebrations

We wanted to go to the carnival on the 4th of July for three reasons: ferris wheel, cotton candy and corn dogs. Not exactly patriotic, but close enough. My mom and aunt just live for fairs and carnivals. The best part of the day is we ran into Sam on our way to this little adventure. She had never been to a carnival before so we were thrilled she came along. Call it destiny. We came, we saw and we conquered. After the carnival, we went to the Pershall's for more celebrating. It was quite the fun afternoon. My least favorite part of the day was probably Tad's NASCAR shirt. No one be surprised if it mysteriously disappears soon...
