Our First Fourth

We love the fourth of July! Most years, we spend it with the Gardennismith clan in Ft. Walton. This year was extra special because we got to take the boys to meet everyone (well almost everyone Greg and Tara were busy having a baby, so the boys will have to meet them and their little ones, Hudson, Esther, and new baby Sophia, at Christmas). This year was also nice because it helped us break up our move from Greenville. It meant we were "homeless" for a little longer, but well worth the trip. We were also able to time it so we missed traffic coming and going to Florida for the 4th, so the boys did really well in the car since it was a short trip.

10 adults and 8 kids (all under 6) 

Pops, Will, Amanda, John Bryan, Matt, Kip, Archer, Brian, Christy, Waylon, Robin, Andrew, Alden, John, Bailey, Erin, John and Hurley

The boys loved their first pool experience. They all took to the water well and liked to kick their feet in their little floats.

They looked like professionals in their swim diapers 

or as Jay put it, "the worlds worst swim team."

We took over the den at GG and Pops.

We had lots of help feeding babies.

A good time was had by all.
