Independence Day

We went down to Delta for the 4th this year. It was a lot of fun, but as you can tell by the smiling and happy faces above, there was not much sleeping. Some of the highlights were:
watching the children's parade on the evening of the 3rd, going to the real parade the next morning, playing and buying things at the park, having hamburgers, hot dogs, and 6 racks of to die for ribs (thanks, Beaner!), and seeing all the cousins and aunts and uncles. We also got to see Cherie, which was a real treat because we haven't seen her in several years.


Grandma also bought a slip-n-slide for the kids to play on, and it sure got used. The kids were really upset when it was time to put it away. The weather was perfect, too. It stayed pretty sunny but not too hot, and only rained between dinner and the big firework show. The kids stayed up to see that after we did our own little one, because let's face it, can you ever have enough fireworks?

Some funny things I heard this weekend:
Wet guy comin' through!
VICTORY!!!
Have you seen my eyeball?
I also need to post Joseph's dance during the parade, and a few other things. I will try my best to get that done this week!

You can't even tell it's me! You made Alan's day with that comment about the ribs. As always, It's always fun hanging out with you guys.
