July Fourth Festivities

Best part of our Fourth of July celebration:

Most definitely the box sledding with our neices and nephew!

I've been snow sledding, ice blocking, and now i've expereinced the Texas (or anywhere that lacks snow) version of sledding: box sledding. Just find the steepest hill and grab yourself a box and you are bound to have a good time and maybe even a few grass stains.

After the sledding we watched the most amazing fireworks show put on by UNT.  My brother in-law taught art at UNT but he now has a job at a University in Alabama. I'm DEVASTATED! They moved away last week and now we are lonely without family in Texas. I guess it is time to start planning some family reunions!

We also celebrated the Fourth by enjoying the Fort Worth Symphony at the Botanic Gardens.  We picknicked as we listend to the Symphony play and it ended with a big fireworks display choreographed to patriotic music by the Symphony.  Oh, and we tried fried oreos for the first time...quite yum. 

Hope ya'll had fun on the Fourth too.
