Saturday, July 6 - We had a wonderful 4th of July. Carrie arrived home on Tuesday night, so we decided to have a few family members over for a cookout. No 4th of July celebration would be complete without a few games of Bocce.
The teams.
The cheerleaders…actually this team will play the winners.
Dad shows the "boys" how it is done.
Yes, it rained again. But the game must go on. A little glass of "spirits" helps too.
Some one, most likely Carrie, had the bright idea of having a running race around the house. The ages ranged from 27 to 60. We just hoped no one got hurt. Not sure our insurance would cover a fall during a running race…lol
These two were among the youngest and neither one won.
Of course sparklers are a family tradition.
We also enjoyed the fireworks at a nearby country club.
Hope everyone had a safe and joyous celebration.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y'all back real soon. Have a great day!
It looks like you had a fun holiday, despite the weather.
ReplyDeleteYou guys really do know how to have a good time playing in the rain.

ReplyDeleteYou guys are true family folks. Great pictures of the fun. Love the pic of the race - I can imagine the guy in the background yelling "GO!".
ReplyDeleteGood family fun. Paul, his father, and I assume his brother sure all look alike.

ReplyDeleteAh, a typical Weaver gathering celebrating our independence! Looks like a good time was had by all and no mishaps during the race!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great way to celebrate the 4th of July! Loved all the pics!
ReplyDeleteAny day is a great day to get together with family. A holiday works even better because most of the workers get the day off too. Looks like you spent it well.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a great day despite a bit of rain.
ReplyDeleteToo much fun is a good thing.
Looks like you had a fun time celebrating the 4th of July with the added bonus of being able to see the fireworks from the nearby country club. It is nice to have family around to help with the celebrations.

ReplyDeleteAnd to answer your question, the map of campgrounds on my blog was made using travellerspoint, not google!https://secure.travellerspoint.com/login.cfm
It's pretty cool. Wish I had used it from the beginning. I would have added more info about each campground. You can put notes on it and everything.
