Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July!

Jordan and I spent the day with my family. Mom went all out with the food, as usual, and we all ate way too much. Mamaw and Uncle Mike spent the afternoon with us. We got Mamaw talking about her childhood, which is always really fun. Even at the age of 86 she is as sharp as a tack and loves telling stories.

We also took the dogs with us. They love having the backyard to play in and the other dogs to run around with. My mom's pugs and the Russels get along pretty good. They don't really have an option. Jelly dug a nice hole in the backyard, and Peanut found her way onto Mamaw's lap. She always manages to do this, and everyone knows Mamaw does not like touching dogs. Peanut is determined to break her phobia of "dirty" dogs though.

Tomorrow we will be going to Sarasota for the night. Just to get out of town for the weekend is our goal. There are so many beautiful places in Florida and we've visited hardly any of them. And it's a part of being "active" for our marriage. So we should come back with lots of fun pictures to post!
