July 4th

Once again I do not have any pictures. I'm just horrible with the camera these days. 

Joshua and I were invited to go to Ft. Knox to spend the day with a friend I met through my mom.  Even though it takes over 2 hours to get there, I decided it would be a fun thing.  Since I knew we couldn't stay for the fireworks I convinced Joshua that we should buy our own to shoot of Sunday night.  We did buy some, and it was fun to shoot them off.  I then made the dumb decision to drive around, cause there were fireworks being shot off all around us.  I had no idea that the city we live in was doing their celebration Sunday night.  We got stuck in horrible traffic.

Monday morning I got up at 7 to watch the Peachtree Road Race on the internet, I was hoping to see my brother and sister in law, but 11alive cut their coverage at 9.  Joshua and I got on the road about 10:30 to head to Ft. Knox.  It is such a pretty post, with lots of old houses and buildings.  We went to our friends house, Karla and John, and then headed out with them to the little carnival that was set up.  The rides were mostly for kids, but we did get on the Berry Go Round with Karla and her two girls.  There was a live band, who was pretty good. It was so hot and muggy out, we didn't stay there too long.  We decided to drive around and see everything on post.  They are building some really nice houses there.  We went to the PX and did a little shopping.  We went back to Karla and John's house and had a cook out.  The burgers that John made were HUGE and so yummy.  We also played some skip bo. Joshua and I lost both games.  We got on the road around 8:30 to head home.  The fireworks didn't start until 10:15, and since Joshua had to work this morning I knew we needed to head home.  I did get to see some fireworks while driving. 

We enjoyed the day, and Joshua got to talk military with John.  Maybe we will be an Army family soon!
