The 4th of July is easily one of my favorite holidays. It's the ultimate summer holiday and I look forward to it every year. Even though Mike worked all night the night before the 4th, we were still able to do some fun things and celebrate America's birthday!
My mom and I started off the day with a 5k. Although it was a little humid, it was such a fun race. The course was scenic and well organized. If you're looking for a good 5k to either PR or run for the first time, you should check this one out.
My mom is such a champ. Love being able to race with her.
Once I got home from my race we packed up and headed over to Mike's parents' house to swim. Was it overcast and raining? Yup.
It didn't stop us.
Regardless of the weather, Charlotte was in heaven.
I can't tell you enough how much I love seeing Mike and Charlotte together.
Makes my heart melt.
Love this girl.
After afternoon naps, that evening Mike went to a BBQ for work, while I hung out at my parents (yeah, I'm cool, I choose to hang out with the rents). Then once it was dark, and after Mike came home and we put Charlotte to bed, we sat on our front lawn, watched fireworks and made smores on the grill with a few family members.
What could be better for a summer night?
Not much if you ask me.
Although it was low key, it was another great fourth of July!
Kinda sad we won't be in SL next Fourth of July....
but I hear Cincinnati has lots of fun options to celebrate.
Happy birthday America!
