July 3rd. Pretending To Be The 4th.

For the last three years we have spent July 4th weekend with the Hopkins at the Clarke's house. So, even though we are ten hours farther away this year, we couldn't miss out on the celebration!

We simply love hanging out by the pond. Its so relaxing.

Cornhole!!

One of the most amazing friends everrrrr... Ruby Hopkins! Can you believe I hadn't seen her since last year's get-together??

Rachel Clarke Photography is stunning as always!

Josiah was quite the popular fellow.

Chloe kisses the cute baby when her fiance' isn't looking.

Sandwich kiss!!!

It was so good to get to hug my best friend again!! Missed ya, Jo.

I think Gabe has a bright idea.

Mrs Callahan with food. She blesses so many people so much with so much food! Its her thing. :D

Including amazing muffins.

4 of us girls planned to have matching toes, and the other 2 girls just "happened" to also have matching toes with us!! :D

I spy me parents!

Our innertube came with us to OH!

Fireworks time!!

Sparklers are a huge hit. always.

...although somehow us older girls missed the sparklers, much to our dismay, while doing the Hoedown Throwdown... *ahem*

Thank you Clarkes and Connors and Callahans and Hopkins for the 'mazing day! Can't wait for next year!
