Fun 4th of July Festivities

Abe, Klarissa and Newland decided to come for a visit over the 4th of July weekend.
The little San Franciscan city boy enjoyed playing in the grass and the dirt.



Sarah recruited family members to join with her in running a 5K race one morning.

They got some cute shirts from the race. Too bad Jeff and Sarah were the only ones who went home with a shirt. Ben has yet to find the shirt he got from the race. Jeff, Sarah, have either one of you seen a third shirt lying around that doesn't belong to you???
Sarah is showing how cute her race shirt looks on her when she wore it another day to "run the loop"--her favorite route she used to run all the time when she was living here. The thumbs up is that she made it back up the hill.
She was pretty exhausted and had to take a moment's breather to cool down before she went back into the house.
Breakfast always tastes better on the 4th of July when you are wearing patriotic pajamas and t-shirts.

And look at this little doll baby wearing her "Made in the U.S.A." outfit.

It's always fun to go watch the fireworks up at the golf course above our house. The guys are good to go up early and get all the chairs and blankets laid out for us and stake our claim to our favorite spot.


 

Brooke and Caroline made good use of the glow sticks and made sure Madison had her own glow stick crown as well.






This was Klarissa's (and Newland's for that matter) first time to experience our city's fireworks. Fun family 4th of July festivities.

Love the pictures of Newland playing in the grass, especially the second one. Nice angle, Mom!

And I love Madison's crown. I missed all the crown making.

We had so much fun! Thanks for hosting us.
