Family and Friends Fun on the 4th

Wade called us the morning of the 4th and asked if we would like to come watch the fireworks with them. It was the first time Layla would see fireworks. Of course we were going. Hut even gave up his beloved NASCAR race to go watch fireworks with Layla and family. Diana called us a little while after that to let us know friends Amber and Tony had invited all of us to dinner before the fireworks. Amber and Tony have been friends of Wade's for quite a few years and we enjoy getting together with them. As a matter of fact, we spent Christmas dinner with them this past year and had a great time. Tony and Amber have 3 children, Maddy, who's 6, Xavier, who I believe is 9 and Autumn who is 10 (I think). We had a blast. After a meal of Tacos and story telling it was time to head for the lakefront to watch the fireworks.

Here's all the kids before we walked down to the lake front. Layla, of course, in the front. Then Xavier and Maddy in the middle, with big sister Autumn bringing up the rear.Layla in awe of the fireworks. She sitting with Maddy and Grandpa Hut is in the back.Layla again with Autumn in the background.

My battery on my camera died before I had a chance to take more pictures. So I have no pictures of Tony and Amber. And Diana's brother Casey was with us also. I think this my very well become a family tradition. Oh and we came home with a new family member too. Meet Bailey.

Tony and Amber had Bailey but they could not longer keep him and were going to take him to the pound. Nope.....Hut's always wanted a "baskethound" so he came home with us. Our dogs are doing okay with him and Molly actually likes having someone to play with. By the way "baskethound" is what Maddy calls him, so that is what he is, lol. I hope the rest of you had as much fun as we did.
