4th of July

Uncle Mark and Glen gave quad rides to the kids.





We all got together with the cousins. We had 16 kids total...most of them were 6 years and younger. It was so fun.



Later in the evening we set them up with blankets and they huddled together to watch the Chandler Firework show. It was so fun. One of the funnest family gatherings for me. After we were done, we watched the big show that the college puts on. Amazingly, Gretchen stayed awake and was just happy being all bundled up in the stroller watching the show.

Your 4th of July looks a lot more fun that ours. I spent the evening watching to see if the neighbors would set my car on fire. Ginger looks delighted in one photo. Wish we could have been there.

Ahhh, you guys had a great time, huh? I love Ginger's look of excitement and delight. So fun! I bet all the kids were thrilled with the fireworks spectacular lights and colors. Gretchen probably didn't have time to get bored. : )

I agree with taking advantage of summer with the kids. Unfortunately we are missing summer and I'm so sad. I want the sun! Oh well, I guess that's what I get for living in Washington... :)
