A GREAT 4TH OF JULY…IN SPITE OF THE RAIN

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.

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

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.
