4th of July

For the last seven years our 4th of July has mostly consisted of putting the kids to bed at their normal time and listening to the fireworks crackle outside (maybe being able to see a few from our house). This year though, Matt and I were able to spend the 4th of July with some dear friends that we knew from Penn State. We spent the afternoon walking around downtown Seattle , and showing them some other fun sights around town. Then we got to watch the fireworks down by the water with them. I must add, this was a kid free time for us, thanks to Grandpa & Grandma Hudson. What a great evening! Maybe next year we'll try to bring the kids - though it is pretty crazy down there!
Here are some pictures of our time! God bless America!

I'm happy for you (getting some kid free time)! We took in a parade and hung out at home for the rest of the day and night. The fireworks in our neighbourhood ended at 2 am. Ugg.
