the fourth


We celebrated July 4th the same as every year,with our church family at Rockport. As with all holidays, it is totally acceptable (actually—encouraged) to get decked out in your festive clothes. Thankfully, there are many at Rockport who agree!

Celebrate America


Each year, First Baptist Church of Arnold has a ‘Celebrate America’ event. There’s food, rides, a car show, a motocross show, and fireworks. This is our second year going. We met up with some families from church and enjoyed a fun night with beautiful weather.

4th of july first baptist church of arnold

I was so sure that Evangeline and Kingston would hate the fireworks. Evangeline actually giggled while watching them–which I guess pushed her into a slaphappy mood for the next hour, giggling about anything, everything, and nothing. Kai had a momentary breakdown from being scared, but he recovered quickly in his daddy’s arms.
It was such a fun evening! So glad that we went!
