Independance Weekend

 This year our family spent the fourth of July in Louisiana with my dads side of the family. I'm so thankful for another year with my grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins that I love dearly. I am also thankful for the country in which I get to live and enjoy the freedom that those soldiers fought for years ago. May I never forget the price they paid for me to have the life that I do.

 America, land that I love.

 I can't post about the fourth without sharing a few of these precious photos I snapped of Avie 😍

Dad on the lawn mower first thing in the morning 😆

My grandma bought these to drink while were there and they were so yummy!! I've always loved sprite but who knew they would have so many flavors?

Grace being a good chap and moving a limb so dad could mow😄

Went on a little walk on my grandpa's property, the sun was just so perfect here I had to document

Here mama is preparing a holiday inspired fruit pizza!

It was very delicious and turned out to be a big hit!

My Grandpa playing pool, his favorite past time that he's quite skilled at.
 

On Saturday we all met at a very beautiful old home for the Acklen Reunion. This house was renovated to preserve it's antiquity with some modern decor. The front porch was one of my favorite places, with the kitchen being the other 😍

My cousin Ainsley and my sister Grace!
