Firecracker 4th

We spent an amazing 4th of July weekend doing all the things we LOVE.

On Sunday we started our celebration at our neighborhood pool with friends and too much food.

Independence Day began bright and early for our favorite tradition: The Peachtree Road Race! This year was extra special because Maggie requested to join in the run with Daddy!

Jacob and I arrived at our annual cheering spot to wait for our racers.

It was HOT morning, but Maggie and Jay finished the race with smiles.

We missed Tuttle while he was at the lake with his buddies, but he made sure I could snap my yearly patriotic photo of him at the race even if it was over Facetime! :)

After several years of hiatus we reunited with the Poole family for brunch after the race. Time passes so quickly that I did not even realize it had been that long, but it is always easy to pick up where we left off with this fav family!

After a three hour nap for Jacob and me, we made some last minute plans to join neighbors for fireworks at their house. Jacob was VERY into the sparklers, pop-its, and novelty firework finds. Maggie spent most of her time getting baby snuggles.

Our weekend was one for the books, but Tuttle also came home today with lots of stories about his time at the lake. I cannot believe we are already at the place when our kids spend holidays away from us, but he was surrounded by some of the sweetest kids (and EXTREMELY patient parents!).

Happy 4th of July from our red, white, and blue crew!
