4th of July

We're back from our weekend getaway, and I can't WAIT to share all of the details from our trip! Ugh, I don't think we've ever had such a hard time leaving a place. It was a little slice of heaven that ended too soon! I'll share all about it later this week, but today, I wanted to recap our 4th of July.

We started off our morning walking up to the Peachtree Road Race- it's one of the largest races in the US with 60,000 runners! My mom, stepdad, and sister all ran the race, so Matt, Tally, and I went up to cheer them on!

After the race, we went over to Matt's sister's house and spent the afternoon there. Then we came home, made dinner, packed for our trip, and watched Saving Private Ryan before heading to bed. We definitely made the most of the day despite the blah weather!

He wasn't too sure if he wanted to go on an early morning walk

The very beginning of the race- these are the pros. ;)




My sis!

Papa!




Nonna!


Random racers who wanted to stop for a pic with Tally- ha! Love his face- "really, are we doing this?"


Heading home

Tally after the big morning- this was the first time he wanted to nap outside of his crate- sweet buddy

Getting ready for our own little parade since the real one was cancelled :)












Look at Tally watching Jackson- buddy took an on-and-off nap for 3 hours!


Hope you had a great 4th too!

  1. Great pictures! Favorites of course are of your sleeping honey and the sweet puppy. And I am very jealous of the fact that you have on a jacket! It is so stinking hot and humid here!
