Happy Belated 4th!!!

So happy 4th everyone!! Wish you could have all been with us...we really had a great time!! Grandma Ackerman treated us to a few nights at a great resort in Scottsdale that had an awesome fireworks display and a beautiful water park! We enjoyed hanging out by the water, playing in the sand, eating lots of great food, lounging in a comfy hotel room and cranking the AC down, down, down (it was supposedly 114 degrees outside), taking walks around the resort, going shopping in Anthem, and just spending some time together as a family...it was great! And mom and dad even went out on a date!! Thanks Grandma!! During the fireworks I sat with my little Avery (daddy graciously offered to hang out with Finley as she slept in the hotel room) and thought about so many 4th of July's spent with my family and how much I love this country and am so greatful that my girls can live here and have all that we have! Happy Independence Day America!! Enjoy these slideshows...there were too many pictures to post them all so I had to get creative! (The third one entitled "at the beach" you might have to view first or back out and go back in as it stops when it has gone through one cycle) We love you all!!!
