4th of July

A few days before the fourth we headed down to finally meet up with Andrew's cousins who also live in Florida. They live just a little over an hour away from us and he works at Deseret Ranch...the Church owned Ranch. They were having a BBQ and a mini rodeo. I feel like holidays are the hardest when you don't live close to family but it was great to know we still had family that we could spend the holiday with. They had some great fireworks that they shot off right in front of us. Ellie LOVED them. She just kept staring and jumping every time one went off. I may or may not have cried while she was watching the fireworks. It is the best being a mom and watching your child experience something for the first time.

On the actual fourth we braved going to Disney. We thought it was going to be packed but it wasn't too bad. It is so fun to be able to go and ride a few rides and then head home. We ended the night with a little BBQ with just the two of us.
