After much deliberation, we decided to stay in Dublin for the holiday (we originally thought we would be celebrating in Baton Rouge - to our 225 peeps, we love and miss you all).
Matt started the day with 18 holes of golf with men from our church (Matt's group won the scramble - free round of golf, woohoo!). In the afternoon, we went to Ali's parent's house for a cook-out (thanks Mom!). There we met up with Morgan, Lisa and the kids (Jared had to work - bummer!), Sharon's dear friend Susie Quinn, Susie's daughter Jess McAdam & family and a couple of friends. It ended up being a beautiful day - yummy food, energetic kids and lots of chatter.
That evening we headed to Dublin H.S. and met with Matt's mom and sister for fireworks (Matt's dad is in Canada on a fishing trip). Dublin hosted Rick Springfield, and following the music, we sat back and enjoyed a fabulous fireworks display. What a special day!
