We had a busy, fun 4th this year. Friday afternoon we drove to Centerville, this is where Brian’s grandmother and other family live. We usually go there for the family reunion in July, but this year it was all on the same day. Lilly had such a blast with all her cousins and extended family – she is such a people person and just really enjoys life, every little detail. She was so excited she did not sleep at all that night :). Saturday we woke up and got ready for the parade. It was such a small town, Americana feeling – I had never been before. The parade is around the town square and there is also craft booths set up and different food vendors. I carried Hudson in a sling and we were both kind of hot, but he did seem to enjoy seeing everything (does not like fire engines or ambulance sirens!) Lilly really got into the part where she got to run out for candy – she was not shy about that at all! She was definitely on a sugar high! 
That afternoon, evening was the Burk reunion, and it always neat to see all the generations coming together to celebrate family. The evening concluded with a tractor ride around the farm. That night –the 4th – we drove on to Tyler. We did see some cool fireworks around Palestine over the lake. 
Sunday we spent with my family. My sister’s family and my aunt/uncle and cousin all came by too! Some news, my cousin who is a year younger than me, Jessie, is getting married and they will be living overseas in Copenhagen.
