4th of July Weekend

While we didn't enjoy the traditional 4th of July celebration, we did have a wonderful day together as a family. With thunderstorms and rain forecasted for the evening we decided not to drag the kids out late in the evening for a fireworks show that they would likely not remember. Perhaps next year we will venture to Germantown for Germantown Glory. But this year we headed to Great Falls Park in Maryland for a little hiking and sightseeing. Matt and I used to visit Great Falls often to hike the Billy Goat Trail. On the 4th we just went to go to the overlooks. Madison was very excited about the big rocks and she kept saying over and over "big rocks, be careful."
They loved holding onto the fencing and looking down at the water and rocks. It did make me a little uneasy as Madison started putting her legs through the posts.
A beautiful lizard we saw as we walked.
And a squirrel enjoying his meal until he was disturbed by our presence.
Jason and Carson decked out in red, white, and blue for church the following Sunday.
Madison didn't want to be left out so she joined in the fun.
