The 4th of July is hands down my favorite holiday! And this year was extra special and the entire Kerr clan was at our house for a weeks worth of 4th of July activities!! We had a great time with never a dull moment!
Before the guests arrived Andy cranked through and finished grad school!! I give him so much credit with the balance of family, upcoming deployment, and finishing graduate school close to two months early. Whew... we're all glad that's behind us!
(We LOVED Madison though!!)
We kicked off the week of the 4th with watermelon
One of my favorite things of the 4th is the 4th of July parade! Growing up in a small town in Iowa we had the BEST parade!! I looked on the internet to try and find us a parade and had THOUGHT I had found one...(it was even on the news for things to do over the 4th...) so we drive about 45 minutes to the "parade" and it consisted of about five WWII trucks and that was it...
Maybe next year...!!
Our week consisted of perfecting the perfect bloody mary
Our housing community has a great pool and is walking distance from our house. There is hardly anyone ever there, which was a good thing for us...it was pool party 2013!!
Jeremy (my sisters husband) and Andy, had a great time together in the pool.....!
Jeremy flipping Andy off of his shoulders!
Raft races!!
One of the days the girls all went to a crab festival while the boys went fishing. Afterwards we went to a fun seafood restaurant on the beach. This above photo is a photo of all the napkins that one of my family members went through (I won't write their name...) in one place setting!!
Cards Against Humanity in the evening!
Andy, Jeremy, Cade, and Drew spent several hours fishing, even braving it in the rain and wind!! It all paid off when they brought dinner home!
We had a great week with the family and ended it with awesome fire works in the neighborhood!
