Happy 4th!

Since camp was still going on all day Friday, we were not able to make it into town to watch fireworks (we've gotten used to the fact that we can see them every 7 or so years...the night the 4th falls on a Saturday!) but we had a really fun day celebrating the 4th of July!



Right after chapel in the morning, we went into Ringgold (1 minute away!!) and let the kids pick out their little fireworks. Plus, we took the kids to the gas station (a far cry from QuikTrip!!) to get an Icee.

Here are the boys with their fireworks and their icees.

Fortunately, the gas station has WHITE cherry icees...much easier to clean up after!

I thought Aunt Amy would love this pic...this summer, we have asked the boys to read for 30 minutes total each day. Micah figured that if he read his Hardy Boy's book on the walk back home from the dining hall, he could knock out 10 minutes of his time. He really does LOVE to read...it's just that he LOVES being outside even more. :)

Here are the camp kids getting ready to sing Friday morning. They were excited to wear all of their 4th of July outfits.

McKenna loved dressing up all her dollies for the day as well.
