how many nights in a row can we watch fireworks and eat watermelon

it’s the 4th of july time of year! it was so fun. we really did see fireworks thursday, friday and saturday night! best year for fireworks, ever!

{this is actually from night #2, our camera was dead on the first night of festivities}

{with the blanks and lauren’s parents}

{the next day mom, ben, mick and i went to the augusta july 4th fair downtown and had a blast!}

{ben and mick made friends with the ice cream lady}

{these were all of the treats you could partake in at the fair. i had a lemonade and mom had cotton candy, nothing else}

{although we all mooched some cotton from mom. it was SO yummy. vanilla flavored!}

{notice the locals i was able to capture}

{we decided to extend our fun onto one of the kiddy rides. it was hilarious!}

{mom, riding with ben, screamed her head off the ENTIRE time. hahah}

{random huge cow and carton of ice cream. notice mick “milking” the cow and ben modeling the carton for us}

{locals riding ponies}

{pretty ponies}

{this photo is to portray the old/rundown-ness of augusta…notice the boards and all}

{our next stop was the “car show”, consisting of about 20 cars}

{it’s nice to have these reminders…we might forget!}

{this is our country spread of yummy-ness, including adam’s pride and joy (his ribs)}

{and my momma’s blueberry cobbler, made form the berries i picked last summer! mmm…}

{after dinner, we took some family photos}

{then it was fireworks-watchin’-time, again!}

LOVE 4th of july and this year was great!

happy birthday, america!
