4th of July (actually the 3rd) ~~
We decide to party two days, the 3rd and the 4th. On Saturday, we met a Ryan and Terri’s house, then invaded the pool at Columbia Village. It was a little cool for some of us adults (me) to get in the water but the kids had a blast. Cayton and Ayden had fun with the goggles and snorkel. Deacon thoroughly enjoyed himself in the floatation device. Bentley, well, she took a head dive under the water to start with and so it took her a while to warm up, but eventually she had a as much fun as everyone else. Steve rode him bike down to the pool to meet us. The rest of us adults just enjoyed the sun and watching the kids.
We eventually dragged the kids out of the pool and went back to Ryan’s to BBQ. While the food was cooking, the kids jumped on the trampoline. We had some delicious salads, bbq chicken, hamburger and hot dogs. Yummmmmm, good food. After eating some of started a game of Mexican train. Those of you not familiar with Mexican train, its a domino games. Finally, it got dark enough to start fire works in the Cul de sac. Most of the kids enjoyed them a lot, but some (mainly Miss Bentley) would have preferred skipping them.
Sunday, after people went to church they bbq’d at Jessie and Skyler’s. I didn’t go to dinner, but I went out later. We visited and watched John Wayne until it was time to go to the Fireworks. We watch the beautiful display put on by the Meridian Speedway. Returned to Steve’s house to light off more fireworks, the kind Steve buys. I was tired and it was 11:30 so I bailed out and went home but I’m sure it was entertaining. I took a ton of pictures on Saturday, so look through the album at some of them. Had a perfectly fabulous time with family. Love the 4th.
Love you all ~~ Mitzi
