Addison's First Fourth of July

We started out the fourth by meeting MiMi in Jonesborough for "Jonesborough Days" on the 3rd - kind of sad and disappointing - used to be a really big festival but kind of small this year. It didn't matter to us though b/c we had Miss Addison so lots of fun was still had. She's such a little crowd pleaser that we found lots of people to talk to. Here's little missy in one of her festive dresses.



Every year on the Fourth, Zach's partner Dr Mills, has a party at his lakehouse. It's so much fun - here's a few pics from Addison first Annual trip to the Fourth of July party....

Addison and daddy - she really isn't a big fan of shoes yet, so I had to snap this one fast!




Let the games begin! I don't have any from the "greased watermelon" competition (b/c this year I was participating!) but here's one from our attempt at water tug-of-war.

Their version of "American Gladiator" - basically knock somebody off the piece of foam and you win! The little kids were the most fun to watch - Ella took all the boys down!
