perfect get-away

spur of the moment we decided to head to the in-laws for the fourth. i must admit we are very blessed, it was the perfect little family get-away retreat.

these two cuties, loved gege and pawpaw's screened porch.

and have i mentioned my mil the master gardener? everywhere you turn there are these amazing plants.

and a FABULOUS garden, full of yummy home grown veggies.

this picture totally makes me smile. i remember quite well being totally enamoured with my grandad bauer's garden.

truly....just beautiful.

yep, her too...

and him! ;)

there was also lots of time in their pool.

um yeah...that's the pool. ;)

on the fourth gege had prepared a little surprise...fun patriotic goodies...

and glow sticks!

after a festive trip around the block as part of the neighborhood parade,

we enjoyed a yummy fried catfish dinner, surrounded by

joan's gorgeous flowers,

and grandbabies. :) perfect.
