Our very first 4th of July in Atlanta. It was really fun and we were able to meet a lot of fun people in our neighborhood! It was a good year this Independence Day...Landon was very brave listening to the loud fireworks (saying they were the shape of flowers) and Elle loved every minute of it clapping after different fireworks.
Landon and I went outside to play some catch.
Then we took a nap. :)
Poor baby girl got attacked by mosquitoes and her little eye swelled up really bad. Still a happy camper though!
She also got her very first lollipop!!
On the 3rd of July, our community had a block party to watch the fireworks next door. There are a bunch of athletic fields next to our community and they put on a huge fireworks show every year!
Elle sitting so sweet.
Just before they were about to go off, Landon was getting a little nervous haha.
They haven't even started yet Landon!
About to begin and he's still holding his ears haha.
A little sparkler action just before the big show.
The next day, on the 4th we went to the Chattahoochee Nature Center to go hiking. The kids got to touch a snake!
On our hike we saw this design of how wide a tree can grow!
We love exploring nature now that Landon is old enough to understand and learn about what we are showing him. He takes such a big interest into nature.
Our next family activity!
We spotted this frog...can you find it? Look right in the middle.
The Chattahoochee river is absolutely beautiful. Plus we can 'shoot the hooch' anytime we want (float down the river on individual or 6-man tubes!).
We spotted these beautiful flowers on our hike.
While climbing up a mountain we found these awesome rocks...and Paul did his best to strike a pose! :)
Curious little man.
The boys going ahead to make sure the stroller would fit on the trail.
These next 3 pictures are some of my favorite. We stopped to take a short break on a nice bench overlooking the river and I asked Landon to give me a kiss...
What a beautiful view!
This is how Daddy does Elle's hair haha half of it still hanging down...
But, he is getting better each and every time he puts it up in a pony tail!
She is just getting SO big!
Check out these awesome hawks!!
It was a great 4th!
