4th of July

We had such a great week last week celebrating the 4th of July. On Wednesday, Emma and I drove to Bethany Beach for a pre-4th get-together with my cousins and other family I haven't seen in a long time. It is alway so great to be with family. Emma got to play with her second cousin Jack since he is a bit more mobile now, he's almost a year old!

On Thursday, we went over to Brandon's parents to play in the pool and have a cook-out. All the things you're supposed to do on the 4th of July. Emma had such a great time in the pool, and even shocked us all when she decided she wanted to go off the diving board just like her cousin Brady!

Brady is getting so big!

She did this all on her own, it's instinct.

Brandon told me that Brady is standing exactly how Matt used to in pictures.

Perfect light to capture the day.

My two little hams offered to sit on a bench so I could take their picture!

Overall it was a great week of celebration. Over the weekend Brandon and I got away to Holland, MI with Amanda and Charlie. It was so fun to take an adult weekend away and spend time with old friends.
