“My Story In Photos: The Patriotic Edition”


Looking back through July pictures, I started thinking of the traditions that we’ve had. Back when Rob was in school, the weekend connected to 4th of July was really our only opportunity to go to Texas to visit my family. So we did that for several years, even after he graduated.

This first picture is of TV Boy when he and I flew to Texas without Rob, because we were going for an extended stay.

In 2006, we went to Texas and enjoyed some time at the Stockyards.

We of course spent time with family.

2007 was our first year in our new house, so we didn’t make it to Texas. Here’s my niece at our neighbor’s block party.

This year we just hung out at the house and went down to the neighbor’s for a block party dinner and swimming. Then of course to see fireworks that evening.
