Happy 4th of July!

4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love July, BBQ, fireworks, floating in the lake, the smell of sunscreen, and being with family and friends. 

This year we were in Austin on Lake Travis with my mom's side of the family for a little Independence Day celebrating. It started off with a fun surprise pinata (more on that later), making Grandma Baird's homemade vanilla ice cream, and ended with a lot of swimming (in a lake that is quickly disappearing - we need a monsoon). 



Keeping the ice cream going with cups of ice! 
Finished product, oh so delicious!

Heading down down down down to the lake, with a golf club!
Davis loves to hit golf balls into the lake.
The 4th was complete with views of fireworks from the back porch. Every direction we looked, fireworks were going off. We stayed up late, sitting in the dark, enjoying the bright lights. Happy birthday America!
