Happy Independence Day!!!

I know...I know...it's late to still be talking about Independence Day but late is better than never, right? I've been meaning to get these pictures up but I just haven't done it.

Patrick and I had a great 4th of July this year because we got to spend the holiday with Patrick's brother and sister-in-law and our beautiful niece, Courtney. What a wonderful time! On Friday, we spent the day relaxing and catching up before we went to a BBQ at our friends' house. We had a yummy dinner and lots of fun chatting with everybody.

We then headed off to watch the Frisco fireworks show at Pizza Hut Park. What a show it was! Courtney had previously been very scared of fireworks, but this time she really seemed to enjoy them. She was very excited when she saw the pink ones because "pink is my paborite color"(she hasn't quite mastered the 'f' sound. Too cute!) The"pireworks" were gorgeous. Here's a few pictures of the night.




On Saturday, we enjoyed a nice brunch and then headed to the park. Even though it was still fairly early in the afternoon, it was already blazing hot. We enjoyed some time at the playground before heading home for some rest and cold water.

After resting a while, we decided to take Courtney to the Dallas World Aquarium(if you haven't been, you should go...love that place!). She was so excited and kept saying that she wanted to find a "pink pish because pink is her paborite color". How adorable is that! Here are some pictures of our adventures at the park and the aquarium. Thanks for coming to visit us Michael, Christie, and Courtney!
