We had a great July 4th weekend celebrating at my parent’s new (tree)house in College Station on their 14 acres. This house is 10 feet off the ground on stilts! (I will post pics another day.) The kids had their first experience with sparklers and Rilyn even lit fireworks(with daddy supervising)! Asher was freaked out and Ella didn’t like the noise. Rilyn proved to be the family pyro along with James!
