The ad that ran in the paper when our home was for sale said "THE spot to watch 4th of July fireworks." So, we knew that we'd be in a great place to watch the Country Club's fireworks show. We decided that we'd have to have a party! We invited friends and family and grilled out. Set up a few games for the kids (and big kids) and had a great time. We loved having everyone over and getting to spend time with friends old and new. We look forward to doing it again!
Brooke and I grab a shot before the party begins. I guess Boone was less interested in us than what was going on across the street!
And, for those that know me and EBTS...had to do a LITTLE something. Y'all should be impressed that I didn't feel I went overboard. Only a few bandanas some candles and flowers from the yard (thanks to Grandmother and Aunt Kitty)!
Time to eat! Our fabulous guests each brought a side dish---we provided hamburgers, hot dogs, and bratwurst. Thanks to everyone for the great eats!
Some of the crowd enjoying dinner.
And, Brooke and his favorite mother-in-law!

Cornhole is a serious game!
Boone got into the festivities, too. He apparently loves watermelon!
Brooke lights sparklers for Ty, Ella, and Gracie. Not sure what their parents were thinking letting Brooke take the lead in this game!
Emmie and Ty ready to see the show!
Our crowd gathered to watch the main event!

4th of July Parade!
Brooke and I knew that the Signal Mountain 4th of July parade was scheduled to come by our house on Friday morning. But, we had no idea that we'd be in prime location to watch it march right by our house! All residents are invited to participate---enter a float, walk, etc. Maybe we can dress Boone up to march next year! The first sign of the parade was the police officer that pulled up in our driveway to direct traffic. Must be something big about to happen... :)
The officer using our driveway as his "home" location!
And the parade begins!
The Shriners in their little cars!
And, the Shriners can do tricks, too!
A big tractor is certainly necessary as a parade fixture!
