fourth of july.

Happy Independence Day! {5 days fashionably late...} 




It was truly a beautiful day. July sun, low humidity, blue sky, fellowship with friends, a grill... and an awesome fireworks display. Only thing missing on the 4th was a lake... but that delivered over the weekend. We had a great fourth. How about you?



We had all the boys together... that doesn't happen to often! 













We love the 4th - such a fun relaxed holiday. I love even more that everyone dresses so festive... and it's the thing to do. ;)







And the most memorable part of my day? Getting back to this scene...



Home, sweet home. I've truly allowed myself space from volleyball since college - I'm not in any leagues, I've only coached once, but it has been good space. It was an amazing time of my life, but that season has passed. And yet, it felt so good to be back.



Albeit, my neck was sore on Friday and I had bruises on my arms. If that doesn't tell me it's been awhile... the burns on the bottom of our feet sealed the deal. Yowza. So worth it.





Thanks to the lovely Mrs. Schutrop for taking some pics! The girls loved the park, everyone else was hangin' in the shade, and  it was so good to be outdoors.



The pups. Wolfgang "Puck" Schutrop & Emory Benedict. ;) Love them. 



The girls.



And the closer... 



Waiting...



Aubrey & Emma {ok, mostly Emma} were beyond excited for the fireworks. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe Emma is telling Jared here not to be scared when the first loud one comes. "It will be ok..." So precious.



Ba-boom.



Wrapping it up...



Hope you all had a relaxing, fun, playful, and thankful 4th!
