4th of July.

We started out the day by heading out to Courtney, Ryan, Lily and Emma's house in Meadville, PA (near Erie) to spend the day with Ry's parents and also the other Ryan's parents. We were minus Ryan (Hild) himslef though since he owns Hank's (a frozen custard stand in Meadville) and was of course working. Courtney and Ryan have a beautiful house, beautiful yard, deck, and playset, and it was a beautiful day. And, as always, it was fun to watch Lily, Kylan and Emma spend time together. The only problem was that I forgot to take pictures until the last few minutes before we left, so they all take place in their garage instead of reflecting the gorgeousness that is their house, yard, etc.






Then we made the drive back home and had planned to watch the North Canton fireworks from our driveway with Kylan, my parents, and Nate & Trisha. We realized last year that our driveway is the perfect spot to watch the show that they shoot off from Dogwood Park. People from all over the city try to get spots in the church and business parking lots around us, and we are the lucky ones that just get to walk out front! Well, we then invited a few other friends over and they brought some of their friends that they were at a party with and we ended up with 25 people in our driveway! We all watched the fireworks and laughed as Kylan "ooo"ed and "awww"ed at the exact perfect times! She loved it. Then everyone kind of hung out for awhile and some people even stayed longer and hung out in the man cave for awhile. Spontaneous/instant party. Fun times.
