We kicked our fun 4th of July weekend off with dinner Saturday night with our good friends Craig, Susan and Carlee. We ate in downtown Carrolton at Agave Azul Mexican Kitchen. This was the first time that any of us had eaten there we were all fans! After dinner we walked around the square looking for somewhere to get ice cream but were disappointed that nowhere sold it. So, we googled yogurt places and headed off to find that. We were led to a cute little Asian retail center boasting 2 different yogurt stores! We picked the bigger of the 2 locations and snagged an outdoor table where we could continue to enjoy the company along with a little people watching! (There were LOTS of cute Asian babies which made me think of my friend Ginny. She currently lives in Taiwan with her husband James and loves little Asian babies!!!) The yogurt was great and we all had fun chatting and being entertained by Carlee and Cade!

Gregg had to work on Sunday so Cade and I enjoyed a morning at home before heading to the fire station to celebrate our independence with the other families! We made 2 kinds of homemade ice cream (vanilla and my personal favorite milky way), a fruit salad, and a patriotic fruit pizza. They guys cooked burgers and hot dogs and we enjoyed an All American meal!!! After dinner everyone loaded up to go watch the Irving fireworks. We went to the same high spot down the road from the station where we watched fireworks last year. We were able to enjoy several different shows from where we were which made it more fun for the kids! Cade was tired by the time the fireworks started but otherwise did really good.

We had a really fun 4th of July weekend and feel so blessed to live in a country where we are free!
