Red, White, and Boom 2012

This 4th of July, Ray and I had a pretty laid back morning.

As the holiday fell on a Wednesday, it was nice to simply be lazy. We enjoyed a few breakfast cinnamon rolls and pretty much hung around in our pjs until the afternoon. Around 4PM, we picked up snow cones from Scallywags Shaved Ice and made our way to Red, White, and Boom in McKinney.

We enjoyed all of the summer holiday festivities from food trucks, bounce houses, corn dogs, kettle corn, funnel cakes...

...but more importantly sampled two of my favorite summer treats including sweet tea and watermelon. YUM!

We arrived around 7:30, laid out a blanket, and dinned on our summer treats. But quickly, hours of talking stotle the time and before we knew it, the sky grew dark and it was time for the fireworks show. It was a pretty good show and we actually had really good seats. We had somehow sat in back of where we thought the show would take place; however, the band later informed us that the show would be behind us... a perfect showing for us.

Happy 4th of July friends!
Thank you to those you have served and those that continue to serve our country for our freedom.
