4th of July plus More

july 4
We woke up to rain on Independence day.  We had to cancel our parade plans and instead went to Bob Evans for breakfast.




And for dinner we hit up LaRosa's with Levi and his family.  These guys ordered swords with their pizza!

And the rain cleared off just in time for some fireworks.  God Bless the USA!

Guess where I'm going?
ChikFilA -  I could eat there seven times a day
Where the people laugh and children play
Oh, I'm in love with ChikFilA
Suddenly, I need a waffle fries in front of me
With some nuggets and a large sweet tea
(is that song stuck in your head now too?)

The cow seemed slightly confused when Caleb showed up in his McAwesome tshirt!

Rediscovering old friends.  A wonderful visit with a faraway (and a not so faraway) friend.  So fun to see our kids becoming friends too!

Grant's face is killing me in this picture! Um...Mom, why are you acting like this in public?!

And now he's giving me "the look"

Then we settled down and tried to take a normal picture.

For some reason, every time we are together we always end up at a icecream place.  Few thing are more fun that chasing each other around the table.

Hugs!
