Thomas Rhett, his wife Lauren Akins, and their four daughters, Willa Grey, Ada James, Lennon Love and Lillie Carolina, embraced the Fourth of July spirit in the most adorable way possible. 

The country superstar shared a series of photos from his family’s Independence Day festivities, which he simply captioned, “Happy 4th, y’all! 🇺🇸”

The carousel of images features photos of Thomas and his wife alongside their daughters, and some precious memories they shared during the Fourth of July.

“God Bless America”

Showcasing their American pride, Thomas and his family sported their best patriotic ensembles to celebrate America’s birthday while enjoying time together on the beach in Florida.

Lauren also took to social media to share a postcard-worthy family photo during their vacation. 

“God bless America ❤️🇺🇸🩵🧨🤍✨,” Lauren captioned the precious snapshot. 

The beach served as the perfect backdrop for their family bonding and celebration. It was a time for making memories, expressing gratitude for the nation’s freedom, and cherishing the beautiful moments they shared as a family. 

Amidst his break from the Home Team Tour, the “Slow Down Summer” singer is enjoying a well-deserved vacation with his family.

Earlier this week, Thomas Rhett shared photos from their summer vacation, which he captioned, “Slow down summer…,” referencing the title of his chart-topping hit of the same name.

The post included a pair of photos, one capturing his entire family and the other highlighting his two daughters, Willa and Ada, riding their bikes into the sunset.

In another collection of photos from his family’s Oceanside getaway, Thomas Rhett is seen alongside his wife and youngest daughter, Lillie, as well as capturing moments of him with his daughter and his wife with their child individually.

“Beach time ☀️,” he wrote.

Produced by Live Nation, Presented by Dos Primos Tequila and Fueled by Marathon, the 40-city trek kicked off on May 4 in Des Moines, IA at Wells Fargo Arena and continues through September 29, where the tour will wrap up at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN.

“My road family, they are my family. You know, I say it on every stage all night, by band, my crew, my truck drivers, my bus drivers really are one big family unit. So anytime we bring other artists out, like this year, Cole and Nate Smith are out with us and we just invite everybody to just be a part of our family. This year has been extra special and extra fun,” Rhett said of his headlining trek.
