Happy Fourth!

We headed to Ft. Smith yesterday to celebrate the Fourth at my Aunt Shirley's in Mulberry. After spending the whole day in the car and staying up late last night, they are tired kiddos today.
We had planned on leaving Thursday, but Conall vomited at school and had to come home early. It was obvious that he was sick, but it must have been a 24 hour thing. It was probably the same thing Caitlin had earlier in the week.
So, we headed out yesterday. We got here in time to leave for my aunt's house. The bridge on the way to her property is out, so we had to go the back way. The roads were horrible, the directions were bad, but we finally made it there. Both kids handled all of the time in the car really well!
They had a ton of fun playing at my aunt's. My uncle restored an old John Deere tractor and built it a matching trailer with seats and picnic style tables. Of course, Conall spent most of the evening there. They also had hay bales, a pond, a baseball diamond and lots of animals. He had so much fun. Caitlin had fun too and is now officially a "grease monkey." More on that later.
Surprisingly, Caitlin enjoyed the fireworks. Conall, and his buddy Aiden (another 4 year old), had a ball watching them, too.
I ran off without the cord to connect the camera to the computer and dad doesn't have a place to hook up my memory card, so no pictures until we get home.
Hope you all had a good Fourth.
