Celebrating 4th of July with the Family

We kicked off celebrating Independence Day with my family. We headed to Gigi's for a cook-out and fun in the pool - including letting the kiddos try out the new giraffe pool. Meredith loved it and we could hardly get her to leave!

We even let Jillian check out the giraffe pool too...

Once I knew she was okay with that, we tested out the big pool - she seemed to really like floating with mommy!

After swimming and dinner we headed out to watch fireworks at the Highlands. We had a really nice view and we were pleasantly surprised that Landon, Meredith and Jillian all did great even with the noise. Meredith wanted me to hold her at the beginning because she was a little nervous about it being "too loud" but she warmed up to them as they went on and loved guessing what the next color would be.

Looking a little nervous, but she really loved all the colors and the pretty sparkles.
