Our fourth festivities started on the third when we went to downtown Kennesaw to watch the fireworks display they put on (apparently they have an agreement with the city of Acworth, we get the 3rd and they get the 4th). We got to see aunt Kristen for the first time since she got home from Korea (on the first), unfortunately, mommy forgot to take pictures. Grandpa, Kristen, Atkins, Caitlin, Drew and the Buttle family all came with us.
Nathan, Kendalynn and Logan enjoyed running around before the show started.
Setting up camp
AJ just crawled around on the blanket until the fireworks started.
Silly kiddos!
As always, Kennesaw put on a fantastic firework display. After we got back home Nathan entertained us with a "talent show". Nathan stands on the tv stand and clears his throat then says "ladies and gentlemen presenting (insert name here). Then that person has to come up to the stage and sing a song or tell a joke or something like that. He mc'd til past 11.
On the 4th we got up, had a rough morning, then headed to Marietta for the parade. That ended up being a bad idea. Nathan was tired and grumpy, the parade was late and it was hot. We didn't last very long before we gave up and headed home for a nap at 11:30.

Anderson is actually walking to me in this picture, and Nathan is excited about it.

David had all of the kids convinced that "snakes" are the best firework. Katie told them that it was snake poop, and they thought that was awesome.

| Nathan likes fireworks just as much as his mom and dad do! |
Nathan and his second best friend (That is what he told me. His best friend is Thatcher Bishop) Kendalynn, super cute!
We had a great couple of days. Also on the 3rd, David had his Army anniversary- 9 years and hopefully a promotion coming soon!
