Christmas in July in Reverse...

Does it really matter when I blog??  Shouldn't it just matter that I DO!  :)

The first 4th of July we spent in TX was not all that fun.  We ended up watching fireworks on a beach thing in Granbury.  Well, Trystan was still a baby and we didn't know it was a sandy beach when we went so we had no chairs and it was super hot.  We all ended up with sand stuck all over us and we a little miserable.  And parked like a mile from the fireworks.  That night Chris and I said we wanted to go back one year and see the fireworks from the hotel next to the beach.  WE FINALLY DID!  After that we didn't get the chance but we did this year! 







We almost booked the cheaper hotel next door but didn't b/c the online pics looked dumpy-and we are soo very glad we made that choice.  That cheaper hotel caught on fire the day we got there and we watched them put out the flames from our hotel window.  Trystan said that was his favorite part!  (No one was hurt in the fire and I feel a hotel owner should have insurance.)

We spent two nights in Granbury so we could get an early start on the 4th and stay late for the fireworks and not have to drive back. It was Wonderful!  Granbury had a parade and then booths set up in the square all day.  We had lunch at a less than yummy but still quite charming restaurant on the square and spent the entire day just looking around.  That night the hotel had rental chairs on the dock and we all got to sit on the dock by the water to watch the fireworks.  They had drinks and free necklaces for the kids.  We definitely made up for the past few 4th of July holidays!
