Happy 4th Of July!!!

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July!!! We actually started our festivities last night when we attended a BBQ held at Shane's brother's home. We had a great time! Jack had a ball playing with Melanie's nephews Ethan and Kaden...Ethan is only 5 days older than Jack! Finally, someone his age to play with! It started raining during the party and continued most of the night. We made a trip down to the river to see the annual fireworks display but by 9:30 pm we assumed the fireworks were cancelled and we headed home. We had just closed the door behind us when we heard the first big boom...we quickly high-tailed it up to our attic and watched the fireworks from there. Jack didn't mind, and it kept us out of the rain. Then today we celebrated by going to a BBQ at Sam's house. We met Sam's son Brandon and his fiancee. We ate way too much, we let off a ton of fireworks, and we headed home completely wiped out. I'm only typing this now because I'll probably be too tired to do it in the morning. All in all, we had a wonderful 4th of July...Jack's first of many! I want to say a big thank you to all the men and women who have served our country...especially to those we know and love personally...my PapPap, my cousin Jesse, Shane's Uncle David, JeanAnn's boyfriend Nate, my Uncle Dan, my Uncle Wally, and Angela's brother Nik....again, THANK YOU!!!!! I took a ton of pictures from these last two days and I promise I will post them tomorrow when I'm not so tired.
