Family, Food, Fun, and Fireworks - Celebrating the Fourth!

What a Fourth of July weekend. We have been busy busy all weekend and Sophie has just loved every minute of it.

We started off the celebrations on Friday night by taking Sophie (and all of us really) to her first drive-in movie at the Trenton drive-in. We watched Toy Story 3 and Grownups. Such a neat experience. The weather was perfect and we had a blast!

On Saturday, we continued the celebrations with quite a full day. Jason took Sophie to the Soddy Daisy Car Show and then out on the boat for a bit.

I met up with them at Camp Columbus where we took Sophie swimming in the lake and she played on the swingset.

Later that evening, we went down to Coolidge Park for the Chattanooga Symphony's Pops on the River celebration. What a blast! Sophie and Finley danced, went on the carousel, listened the music, and watched the fireworks.
On Sunday, we spent the afternoon at Chester Frost with just Jason, me, Sophie, and Belle lounging in the sun, swimming, and hanging out.
Sunday night, our neighborhood put on quite the fireworks display. I can't even begin to think about how much money was spent on their fireworks, but it was so relaxing to sit on our back deck and watch such a great display.
What a full but amazing holiday weekend. We had such a great time celebrating the fourth with family and friends.
