Red, White, and Blue...

On July 3rd we attended the College Home Run Derby and fireworks. This was Ruby's first trip to a baseball stadium and she seemed to enjoy all of the festivities. It was a very hot, yet fun night filled with cotton candy, snow cones, a wedding on home plate, and the most beautiful fireworks I have ever seen. There is something magical about fireworks and no matter how old I get, I will still sit and watch them in awe.

The next day was the 4th... which is a pretty big deal in our house. Scott is officially obsessed with this holiday. This fourth of July was no different than every other holiday... nonstop. Holidays are always so busy, sometimes it's hard to relax and really enjoy the moment. We started the day swimming and grilling at my mom and dad's. Ruby enjoyed hanging out in the pool with her cousins and eating red, white, and blue cupcakes. A short while later we headed to Scott's sister's house for their annual Fourth of July bash. Ruby had a great time with her two cousins and enjoyed watching fireworks. She even got to help her dad light some fireworks. Overall, it was a wonderful day!
