We spent the 4th on the farm up in Stewartsvile, Missouri.  It is known for it's serenity and beauty.  My mother-in-law inhances its natural beauty with her amazing gardening abilities.  Our holiday was marked by lots of family, food and good wholesome fun like hayrides, homemade icecream, sparklers, s'mores and fishing! It was unseasonably cool and drizzled off and on all day.  That made it very pleasant to be outside.  We just threw on our mud boots and went on our usual way.  I think Aunt Dana looks especially dashing in hers.  She is expecting her first baby and is holding my neice in the photo below.  Enjoy the photos.
