Celebrating the 4th in Highlands

We had a very exciting 4th of July celebrating the Alstons' 40th wedding anniversary with a family trip to Highlands, NC. Marcus, Mary Grace, Neely and Sadie met us there also so we had all the cousins together. The weather was so wonderful, much cooler than it has been here. We took a long walk into downtown from the house we rented, took the boys to check out the "bust your butt" sliding rock, went to the nature center, grilled out and enjoyed the fireworks. We also celebrated Neely's 3rd birthday. It was a great way to reflect on the Alstons great marriage and the fruit of an ever-growing family.
