Oh Say, Can You See Any Fireworks?

Our first taste of Tennessee night life was watching the Nashville Fourth of July fireworks display. Apparently, we heard later, that this display was voted #2 in the nation for best Fourth of July show. Here Eden and Emmaline are trying to decide which spot would be most advantages to watch the fireworks. They chose a spot next to the capitol building which you can see in the background. Thank you Aunt Lisa for a fun night out!

Thanks also needs to be extended to Uncle Will who kindly put the little ones to bed for us so that we could get away with the big girls. Upon returning home to the Ashby place Will reported that Elise and cousin Ruth did their best to go to sleep until they realized that the appartment was somewhat void of adults. After coming to the conclusion that they were left to themselves Elise confidently announced to Ruth, "No Mammas, NoPappas!"The two girls then ran out of their room only to be surprised to find Uncle Will holding down the fort.

This is our gang just before we left to watch fireworks.
