The 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We had a very fun and busy weekend. We started off by going to Brett's parents condo in Colonial Beach, VA. The weather was beautiful and the kids had a blast. I was actually dreading taking Jacob to the beach because i thought he would be so hard. He was so good. He sat in the sand and just loved scooping up the shells and rocks and just being there right with us. He was NOT a super big fan of the water itself but it was still so much fun. Once we got home we rushed to pack a cooler and grab blankets and load up the car to head over to Great Meadow in The Plains, VA with our friends the Youngs! We had sooo much fun. There was tons of stuff going on, from a helicopter parade to rockets being shot off to giant slides and face painting. The best part was at the end, laying on the blankets with my family all around me and watching the fireworks. I couldn't help but think this is how it's always supposed to be!
