Our Fourth of July in Arkansas

We made a short trip to AR this year for 4th of July. We did so much stuff that it was hard to get pictures of everything but I tried.
Here we go...

First we had a gator ride with our cousins Eliza, Sophia and baby Maya. We had to try out the new bench Grandma had made for her grandkids. It was lots of fun and Ella just wanted to go faster and faster. Maybe Luke can catch a ride the next visit.







Then the girls and cousin Landon played in the rain--but only a little while because unfortunately the rain didn't last long. Papa always says when you get a rain you need really bad, you always have to play in it.



The girls had lots of fun bouncing in the bounce house while Maya checked out her new cousin! What's this little guy all about??





Finally it was time for the big fireworks display!! Papa spent lots of money getting ready for this event and it was totally worth it!
Although there are lots of concerned looks in this picture, everyone loved the fireworks especially daddy who was in charge of shooting them off with uncle Craig.

Thanks for a wonderful 4th, Grandma and Papa!!!
