Vacation - Wednesday - 4th of July




Wednesday was another eventful day. As usual it began with a ride on the 4-wheeler. Emma never would get on when I had the camera with me so I didn't get a picture of her this time. She had plenty of rides though.
Brian, Debbie and Jessica drove up to spend the 4th of July with us. We went swimming then ate lunch. I can't remember what everyone else did while Jessica, Corinne and Emma napped. Oh well. Guess it wasn't too memorable:)
We (Brian's family, Brent's family, Nana and Pawpaw) went to a nearby church for a cookout with the Traughber side of the family (Nana's family). Stephen, Connie and Jess met us there. We took the opportunity to take a family photo (with Debbie's camera:) but I don't have one yet to post. I'll post that later when I get it from Debbie.
We had a good time visiting with all our extended family. The kids were excited to see Uncle Paul and Aunt Kay. They had kept the kids a couple of years ago when Brent and I went to a Vols football game in Knoxville. There were too many people there for me to name everyone but it was fun! The homemade ice cream was a good way to end the evening.
When we got home Brent and Stephen had a supply of sparkler and fireworks for the kids (yeh, BIG kids) to enjoy. Brock and Hannah are happy to say that they held sparklers. They even liked the bottle rockets. Well, Brock is still uncertain. Nonetheless, the finale was about 300 fireworks in less than a minute. The big boys were pleased:)
It was a fun 4th of July. We certainly remember all our friends and their families who are serving in the military.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
