More 4th Photos...

So, the afternoon was a lot of fun. I have posted several pictures of the events. We went to Jeff's parents house, which is on the other side of town from our house. It is neat to go there because they have a park across the street. So, because Sunny is only 2 weeks and 2 days out of his heart surgery, they stayed across the street at Kari and Al's yard and watched. Below: Left-Right: Al (Jeff's Dad), Ron (My Dad), Ann & Sunny.

Here are the cousins. Heather is Sunny and Ann's daughter. She just turned 13. She is so boy crazy, and about to enter the 8th grade. She is a sweet heart, and we are so lucky to have such a wonderful niece. She is standing by Matthew. He was having a hard time with the whole social situation coupled with fireworks going off around him. Next to him is Bethanie, who had a "BLAST" this holiday!

Madison was not pictured above but I got her here. She was having SO MUCH FUN! The noise of the fireworks didn't affect her a bit. She loved chasing the parachutes, and hanging out with the big kids!

Here is Kari, Jeff's mom. She worked so hard to put this together. I am so grateful for having her in my life. She is a big help to me, and a big support. I am lucky to have such a sweet mother in law.

Here is Ann and my mom at the park as we were watching the kids light off some fireworks. It was so good to spend some quality time with them, though it never seems like enough.

Here are the Three Amigos.

Heather and her parents, Sunny and Ann.

After the wonderful meal, and dessert, we sat out back on the patio watching the girlers swim in the pool for a while. Here is Jeff all kicked back in the Cabella. The weather was PERFECT for the fourth of July, it was warm, but not so you sweat.

This evening after we came home, we lit off a few of our left over fireworks with the kids and got them to bed. They had a hard time getting to sleep with all the fireworks going off outside, but they are zonked so they will sleep just fine. After they went to sleep, Jeff and I went outside and watched some of our neighbors firework display which was a rather extravagant night show. Tomorrow we are enjoying a nice QUIET day at home. It has been a long weekend and it isn't even the weekend yet! :O) Tomorrow is a new day!
