Independence Day

Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays not only because it is America's birthday but because we ALWAYS take a family picture in our festive gear.

This year I decided we were going to tie dye shirts for the holiday.  There is just something about store bought shirts that I just can't do.  Sure I have bought them in the past but cannot stand to see everyone at one event wearing the same shirt.  We need some uniquness among us. :)

We all had different designs we wanted to try out.  I was going to do stripes, Tyler wanted a bullseye, Reed a swirl, and Eric tried to freehand it. {YIKES!}

I wish I would have taken pictures of the process but I was all hands in on the fun.

So I go to get our tripod out only to discover that it a piece broke off of it.  So we rig something up that will work but Eric and I have to get down low for the picture.

Here is our nice picture...

And our funny picture...

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday.
