Happy Fourth!

Today was such a fantastic day with Matt, Odie, and Violet :) We drove out to Redlands in the morning to enjoy the festivities at Sylvan Park with family :) This year by far has been the busiest yet! There were so many people, it was great! Maybe it had something to do with the fabulous weather? I wore jeans all day and never once felt hot or gross :) I was even a little cold in the shade! Usually Redlands has a heat wave around the 4th of July coming in at clear over 100 degrees, but not this year!

Things I fell in love with today:

* The perfect weather
* Seeing family!
* Watching my nieces and nephew play together :)
* The cupcake truck - we had an apple pie one!
* My mother in law's potato salad eaten with her home made baked beans! And home made strawberry shortcake!
* Sitting with GG and watching Violet smile at her and chat GG's ear off
* Listening to V giggle with her Auntys
* Odie's ability to be ANYWHERE at ANYTIME
* How Matt thinks that chili cheese nachos with jalapeño is a good idea in the morning... From a food stand!
* Watching one of my nieces dote on our Odie (it really just melts my heart) :)

This is our very first 4th of July with Odie (last year we went to a dear friend's wedding and left him home). We're home now and we're curious to see how he does with the fireworks. I hope his little pup ears are ok :)
