Happy 4th !

Hope you all had a Happy 4th! We had a great weekend! Kids were all able to make it home for a long weekend.

We had beautiful weather for a bonfire every night that they were here, and we took advantage of it. Brandon grilled burgers for us on the 4th for dinner, and then the boys went out to get more firewood and shoot some targets. We had Duane's parents, grandma, his great aunt Lois and his brother Harvey over for supper. Duane grilled ribs and they were awesome, grandma brought her potato saled (which is the best I've ever tasted), and I made a couple fruit salads. After the meal we visited until it was dark and then the boys lit the fireworks for us. It was an awesome show. Geat job picking out the fireworks guys!

After the fireworks we had another bonfire. I'm not sure how late that went because of course Ma and Pa retire before everyone else. But we all had a great time.

Needless to say we are all a little tired today. Kind of a lazy day.

Below I have a few pictures that I took way late in the evening.


This picture doesn't do justice to the lighting. We put an umbrella light around the base of the tree,and it had a neon green glow.But I couldn't seem to capture it with my digital.You can see the bonfire in the background. this was taken before everyone was out there.

I never took any pictures at the barbque or the fireworks this year. Getting lazy in my old age. Ha Ha
