So we did some really fun things during the week of Independence Day. One afternoon we took about an 1 1/2 hour drive to Letchworth State Park with some friends. It is considered the 'Grand Canyon' of the East. We had a little picnic & then went to check out some of the sites. The waterfalls were beautiful! We only got to enjoy them for a moment because it started pouring rain! We didn't go all that way for nothing so we just ran through the rain, got soaked & looked at them anyways. We definitely want to go back so we can see more of the park.

If you look real close you can see people going down in rafts. We really want to do that someday!

Our friends Bron & Megan had everyone over for a 4th of July Breakfast. It was wonderful! What better way to start off the holiday than with yummy food & friends?!

That evening our other friends Creed & Tiffany had everyone over for a BBQ. Let's be honest, it wouldn't be the 4th of July without a lot of food. :)


So the guys were obsessed with this game called Can Jam. You play it with a frisbee & a can. They played forever!!! What a great game, cheap & entertaining. :)

We went to watch fireworks at a park & we couldn't even keep focus on one show because there were so many going off in all different directions! It was a great 'ooo & ahh' moment for us. We had a great 4th of July with our friends & are so grateful to have them in our lives.

Oh! This brought a tear to my eye! You've officially started your new life...new friends, new sites, and new house (with fun parties!). I'm jealous! Can I come visit? Haha!

It looks like you guys have had a crazy few weeks!! I'm glad you got to Buffalo safetly, and it looks like you guys have had no problems making new friends! I want to come visit so bad...maybe some day :)
p.s. you never called me back!!
I knew you would make fast friends. you already have more out there than I have here. I miss you. Things just aren't the same without you. Looking at your blog made my heart hurt! I love you and am jealous of your fun adventures! They are lucky to have you!
Looks like you are fitting in well in New York, which doesn't suprise me you being the social butterfly that you are. I heard on the TODAY show today that Buffalo is a great place to invest in a home right now because the market is great. It made me think of you guys!
Hey Rachel! I found your blog and it is way cute! Do you change it for all holidays? I wish I was so organized. So Trav and I went jogging this morning and saw your pretty flowers! It's amazing what that can do for a house. Very cute!
What the heck you already have friends? How nice! Lookslike you guys were busy!! I love this holiday!
What a fun 4th of July! So glad everyone is friendly and neighborly.
