4th of July

We celebrated the 4th at Grandma Jackson's.  The Hill's came up from Orlando, the Brock's from Tallahassee and Meghan and her girls came by too.  It's so nice to be close enough to drive down for the day and see everyone.  It was hot but we had mist fan on us and lots of cold lemon aid too keep us cool. 

Eloise had fun with her cousins.  She and Sarah colored together.
 
 (Eloise was telling Ava all about her drawing.)

She and Ethan played football, kinda.  Ethan was very sweet and patient with her.  The ball never quite made it back to him when she tried to throw it.
 Ava used a stick to scratch the dog's belly.  Eloise was very amused by it. 
 There was a calf a mother abandoned that mom and Hazel were taking care of in a pin all his own.  The kids loved looking at it from the outside.
They were all very timid once we went inside the pin.
I had to force Eloise to pet it. 
Because we weren't going to be there at night Emily and Glen shot off fireworks after lunch.  (Eloise dumped a full glass of lemon aid on herself so she had a wardrobe change.)  Everyone sat on the porch to watch them.
 Eloise didn't hid her face this time - she clapped and danced around the whole time.
 
 On our way home we stopped and got a little treat. 
We finished off our day with a trip to the pool and watching movies.
