We headed to Augusta on July 3rd for our 4th of July festivities. It looked like from the start of the day it was going to be one big wash out with all the rain. But luckily there were spurts where it stopped and we were able to enjoy our day with family!
My aunt hosts the Habermehl side and her husbands side every 4th of July! We get to swim, eat, drink, and just have an amazing time. The kids got in a little swimming. The rain didn't dampen their spirit.
After we ate, we went down to the boat dock where all the 4th of July fun is held in Augusta each year. There is bingo, fire engine rides, food, and fireworks. It is all put on by the volunteer fire department and has been an annual event as far back as I can remember. The fireman also have a booth and sell their yummy fish sandwiches! My kids look forward to the fire engine rides. You would never know their daddy is a fireman and they are up close and personal to fire trucks all the time. But this is different. A bunch of kids piled on top of the fire engines, lights and sirens, and riding around Augusta! I would lie if I said I didn't look forward to bringing them to this as well! Plus I get to see friends that I don't get to see as I often as I would like. Unfortunately we didn't get to stick around for fireworks. Nick had to work on the 4th. While I was sad to miss it, our kids were wiped out. Max fell asleep in the car about 7p on our way back. He didn't even wake up for me to change him into his pajamas! He was out!!
He was out like a light!
On the actual 4th we kept it low key. The rain kept us inside for most of the day. Hope everyone else's 4th of July and weekend was amazing! Now back to our regularly scheduled life!!
