4th of July Festivities

 

“Freedom is nothing but the chance to be better.”

We had such a fun 4th of July weekend this year!  We met Mark, Katie and Wesley at mom and dad’s house in New Braunfels for a relaxing weekend.  Unfortunately dad had to work so it was just mom, better known as Grammy to Grant and Wesley.  It had been a few months since we had seen Wesley and we were surprised at how he had grown!  6 months old is such a cute age so were able to get lots cute pictures of Mister Wesley.   

 

 

 

 

 

When we got there on Friday the guys went on their guided fishing trip and let the girls and kiddos to hang out at home.  Grant and Wesley loved playing together on the floor with the cars so that was a favorite activity of the weekend.

The pool was also a huge hit all weekend!  Since it was so so hot outside this was fine with everyone.  There were hours and hours of jumping and splashing!

It was Wesley’s first time in the pool  so he enjoyed floating around in the baby floaty.

On Saturday we all got dressed up in our finest Independence Day attire and headed out to the 4th of July parade!

Unfortunately we missed the parade ( it actually started at 9:15am and not 10:00) but we still got some cute family pictures and also got to walk around the town square and hear the Mayor’s speech.

Because it was so dry and so hot outside this year all the firework’s stands in New Braunfels were closed.  But we did get to sit in mom and dad’s front yard and watch the city’s public fireworks display.

This weekend was so fun and we were so glad that we were able to spend it with Mark, Katie, Wesley and mom.
