Happy ALMOST Birthday USA...July 3rd in Norcross

What a great way to start off a holiday weekend. Today was jammed packed full of fun. In the morning, I took the boys to the beach at our lake and then after a nap off we went to a birthday party at Monkey Joe's. After a quick pit stop at home and a makeshift picnic dinner, we went to Downtown Norcross for their annual fireworks show. The idea was courtesy of our neighbors, the Rileys, and we tagged along with them, their families and met up with the Hamricks. It was great weather. We each brought picnic dinners and Ellen even prepared homemade apple pie (my all time favorite dessert) and had purchased mini blue bell ice cream cups. Norcross had just recently unveiled their new town playground and I have to say - it was a full time gig just keeping track of your child while awaiting dusk and the subsequent fireworks display. The kids loved the playground most of all. Although Hatcher did catch a firefly and was super proud. Unfortunately my camera battery went dead early on in the evening...but I have many pictures of the weekend to follow. Thanks again Riley family for the suggestion and Hamrick family for the wonderful dessert.
