Happy 4th!

So, as usual, I failed to take any pictures this weekend. We kicked off the long weekend on Thursday with a pre-4th bbq with Landon, Sophie, Ava & their families. We all had a great time, Ryan just adores his friends.

On Friday, Dave woke up and told Ryan and I that he had a great idea and we were heading out for the day. He even packed us a picnic lunch while we got ready. And off we headed to the Pine Mountain Animal Safari Park. We've been to the safari parks in New Jersey & Florida, and both had better animals...however, this park actually allowed us to reach out and feed the animals (the other parks don't even allow you to open the windows). As you can imagine, Ryan loved every second of it!




This giant guy was heading right for Daves window, so I handed him the camera and told him to take a picture...and Dave decided to tempt him to come closer with some chips left over from lunch. Here's the photo result


And on Saturday we went to the Paulding County fireworks, which was a bit of a disaster. Ryan didn't take his nap so he fell asleep on the way to the fireworks. We woke him up once they started and was very excited. He kept calling out the colors in the sky....for about 5 minutes. Then he just kept saying "home, Ryan's house". So, we headed home before the show was even completed. At least we can say we saw some fireworks though.

Overall, it was just nice to have Dave home for another 3 days and spend some quality time with Ryan, since he's what it's all about anyway.

Looks like fun! I think the large animal in my car would definitely freak me out-lol!

Hope your 4th was a good one!
