Fourth of July Fun!

We spent the holiday weekend in GA with Mamaw and Papaw Payne! We got in at 8pm on Friday night. Luke and Emily, who are 3 months apart, became instant friends!


Saturday was the traditional 4th of July BBQ!


Luke helped Papaw plant some corn in his garden!


Then he got to help Papaw pick cucumbers. He was SO proud of his basket full of veggies!


No visit to GA would be complete without riding in the wagon!



Ever heard of kissing cousins?.....Luke and Emily were SO cute together all weekend. By the time we left, Emily was calling Luke her brother!


This was Luke BEFORE fireworks....


And this was Luke during fireworks.... He did NOT enjoy them. He buried his head and wanted me to cover his ears because they were "TOO loud mommy!"


Mamaw spent a lot her time cooking for all of us, but we all tried to pitch in and Jeremy helped her peel the potatoes for Sunday dinner! Thanks for all the great food Mamaw!




There is nothing better than eating a piece of watermelon by the pool on a hot summer afternoon!


Look how much Luke's tree has grown!



Check out what was in one of Papaw's holly bush...the cutest little baby birds ever! As soon as your touched any tree branch, the little birds would open their mouth's looking for food!


We had such a great time with the fam. Luke especially loved hanging out with his cousins! They were so sweet to him and even gave his some silly bands. He hasn't taken them off since! A good time was had by all!
