my grandpa

Our Fourth of July was somewhat laid back this year.

We usually spend it out at the lake or camping but with Mr being gone

and our friends being spread over the map I decided

to spend the night at my grandparent's house which overlooks

the river (amazing view) and watch fireworks from their

pool deck! My parents and one other family friend joined us.

It was a quiet but fun night, I always love

going to Nana and Grandpa's house.

We're still getting our grandparents used to technology

so every time I whip out the iPhone we have to remind them it's a

computer+camera+iPod+phone all in one.

It never makes sense to them,

and always makes us laugh.

Here's some video of Grandpa from the fourth,
in the first one he couldn't quite understand that my phone was taking video.
The second one he sang a song about me and I plan
to keep that video for ever and ever :)

**other note worthy moments from the night*
Dad and Grandpa serenading us throughout the firework show and
neighbors clapping after each song,
as they overheard the singing from their own back yards.
 This is only one of many clips..

Grandpa taking me around his yard so I can get the most opportune photos

with my iPhone..since there's a camera on it of course.

He was especially concerned that I get a picture of the vultures that hang out in his trees

and the garden he's been planting on the side yard. 

I almost think he's convinced that's the camera I use for photo shoots

and I'll continue to let him think that because it's cute.

Overall,

we made good memories 

had lots of laughs

and apparently sang for a good

portion of the night.
