Independence Day Celebration

Our family loves the 4th of July fireworks right up the hill from us at the golf course.

This year we did the best maneuver ever by having the men make a run up to the course to get the lawn chairs and blankets all set up early in the evening. Then when our group made the exodus from our house to the golf course, we knew we had great spots waiting for us.

It was the perfect opportunity to get a picture with all the grandchildren...or so we thought. We had a Logan escapee. He was sick and just wanted his mommy to hold him.  

Another attempt was made when Jacob entered the picture in hopes of making Logan happy. Then Eli took off on the run. He was sick, too, but it didn't seem to hinder him that evening.

Laurie got busy handing out light sticks to all the little kids.

There was dancing and smiling going on while waiting for the fireworks.

We took family group photos. (Glen and Kim)

Let the fireworks begin!! Eli watched them with one eye covered.

Caroline plugged her ears. Spencer kept exclaiming over the fireworks in his sick, raspy, hoarse voice. And Logan slept through the whole show.

Fun show, fun time, fun family.
