Fourth of July Fun at the Farm

We spent the Fourth of July in Houston this year with DJ's mom and siblings. A close friend of their family owns a lovely ranch and quite a bit of land, and he was nice enough to allow us all to invade his place for an American themed party! We swam in his pool, which Grace loved and did for about a seven hours total that day (talk about a tired little girl!). We also rode the paddleboat, went fishing, and enjoyed rides on the four wheeler. All of these were firsts for Grace, and she had such a good time! Her favorite thing, besides swimming, was fishing! She and DJ caught five little fish, ranging in size from the length of her hand to the length of DJ's hand. She didn't want to put the worm on, but held the pole, cast the line, and helped take the fish off the hook. We ended the night by shooting off fireworks and making smores. What a wonderful day spent expressing our thankfulness for our amazing country and for all the brave men and women who keep us safe, including my husband for his selfless contribution in serving our country!





































God bless America!
