We started our 4th celebrating at the Callahan's on Saturday evening. I forgot to take my camera with me, but you can see some of the cuteness and read all the details on my SIL Dawn's blog here.
On Sunday evening, we packed up the kids and headed over to watch the fireworks at Bridge Street. We had never been before, so we weren't sure where to park/sit. As it turned out, we got one of the best views, I think!
The kiddos, relaxing on the blankets.
*Please excuse the obnoxious look on Josh's face. I don't know what it is about that kid, but he feels the need to pull this face almost everytime I pull out the camera. I've decided to start posting the pics anyway, and maybe I'll get the last laugh one day when he starts to get embarrassed because I'm showing them to others.
Megan brought a bunch of glow sticks that she received as gifts at camp. The kids (and their daddy) had fun playing with those while waiting as well.
I wish I had a bunch of beautiful pictures of fireworks to show you. Unfortunately, my camera batteries died within minutes of the show starting. :( Here are a couple, though, that I got.
Forgive the blurriness, please.
On Monday we took advantage of the fact that Barry didn't have to be at work, and Kayti didn't have school. We slept in (well, I let everyone sleep in... I was enjoying some peace and quiet! :) ), then headed out to the movies. Barry and the kids have been dying to see The Last Airbender (they are all HUGE fans of the cartoon). We had been hearing some pretty bad reviews, and so we were a litte unsure of it. We headed to a matinee in Athens (priced much cheaper than a show in Huntsville... Barry said he would feel better about spending less for us to see it if it did turn out that all hated it!). Barry loved the movie, but the kids had some mixed reviews. After discussing it at length on the way back to Huntsville, they all decided that they liked it, and they are excited for the next 2 movies. We ended our outing with dinner at 5 Guys, then hit some sales racks for school clothes. I'm sooo not ready for school to start back, but this is the best time of year to shop for clothes.
Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th as well!

Shawn like the movie too! I think the kids since they have seen each and every episode, expected too much from the movie... just like a movie made from a book. Savannah is going to ask her dad to take her to see it on a date... since the boys saw it while we were at Eclipse. Had so much fun on Saturday, glad ya'll all came. See you tomorrow when we grab MeggieMoo!!!
