4th of July

The fourth of July was a little wetter than it has been in years past. We were worried fireworks would be canceled but luckily, the Mebane ones still happened even though several of the surrounding areas were either canceled or postponed to the following night.

We started the day off doing some work around the house...always fun, then my family came over to go to the pool for a few hours that afternoon. Amazingly, there was hardly anyone there, it was so nice! Later we went to Jes and Phillip's house for a grill/potluck party with their neighbors...the flies really wanted in on the action too, there were SO MANY swarming the food, yuck, it was like a game trying to keep everything covered before the flies landed on it. After eating some yummy food the rain forced everyone inside. My parents left, thinking the fireworks would be canceled but we stuck it out. We watched most of the fireworks at a park in Mebane with Jes and family before deciding to head out and miss all the traffic.

For those who are curious I'm 22 weeks here. The night before was the first time Carleton felt our little girl kick!
