We were so glad that 3 families came out and joined us in celebrating on the 4th! Here are some pictures that show how pleasant a time we had:
Our red, white, and blue bouquet...
My dad and Andrew decided to hoist up a flag for the first time on our tall flag-pole. :)
Our teams were pretty close in skill (and lack thereof too), so it was fun... (Thanks for this picture, Jacob! That's me in the red and blue, Andrew behind me...)
I love Summer!!!
We played several games of volleyball later in the day when it cooled off. I don't have any pictures of that though. The M. family came then and joined us. Here everyone was enjoying the swings...
I wonder, do most people enjoy the smell of fireworks?
We sang and visited around this campfire until 1:30 in the morning, once the fireworks were finished...
I'm glad somebody borrowed my camera and snapped some pictures. This is me, trying to roast a marshmallow and not myself... I ended up waiting a while until the flames died down a bit!
Fountains are so pretty!
Awwww...
I hope you all had a wonderful time of celebrating too. May God continue to bless the USA and the families that live here!
Hello dear friend! {Surprise, it's me!} ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you all enjoyed such a pleasant Independence Day celebration! Looks like so much fun - love all those games. My your mother and your dad(?) are so far apart on that balloon toss game - I never get that far before dropping mine..I have a terrible throwing/tossing arm. ;) Lol. Lot's of fun though!
Fireworks and s'mores are a perfect way to spend an evening. :)
We spent the day doing misc. things - me making some treats for my brother's birthday that was the day after, and dad grilled burgers. We did get to see a few fireworks across the street from us but they were mostly behind the trees. :) A nice relaxing day.
Talk to you again soon!!

Thanks for the surprise comment, Rachel! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you had a relaxing 4th... Fireworks are fun to watch! We did have a great time with our friends... And yes, my parents and the F. parents were quite a ways apart, but I think both their balloons splashed that very next throw. ;)
Praying you're all doing better.
Love and hugs,
Cora
