Freedom!

Crew missed out on all the evening fun (yay for babysitters!), so we had to take some patriotic pics before the "real" fun began...

I just love these 3 little people!

We celebrated Independence Day with friends from church, and it was so fun! We headed to the Botanic Gardens in Fort Worth to the Concert in the Gardens. Every day during the month of June the Fort Worth Symphony puts on an outdoor concert. Each day is a different theme. The last 3 days of the concert, which are always the 3,4,5 of July are patriotic themed, followed by one of BEST fireworks displays in the city. 

We headed out there with a massive picnic in tow:

and all the kids had a blast waving their flags, devouring lots of food (mainly cookies and carmelitas), getting into mischief, and just generally having a fantastic time while preparing for the music to start

This is Hudson with Sarah, his fiancé...

As soon as it got dark, the we busted out the glow sticks/bracelets/necklaces:

and the concert wrapped up with an AMAZING fireworks show

What a perfect way to celebrate the freedom we enjoy so much! We already can't wait until next year!
