The fourth of July is such a great day, remembering everything we are blessed with and spending time with our family and friends. We live in a Great Country and we are proud to be a part of it. Today, after the safari we spent the remainder of the afternoon at mom and dad's house AKA "the resort". We had a HUGE feast of chicken, sausage, hotdogs and sweets GALORE. After dinner the guys and some of the older kids took the jet skis and the boat out for a little tubing and water skiing while the little kids and us moms swam in the pool. Although Melissa had Carrie take her out on a jet ski and she even took a turn driving - at a very minimal speed Carrie said - you go Melissa. We spent the rest of the day relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere of the lake and the parties going on at the houses around us. Connie and George Lombard came in town from Chicago the night before so we did a little catching up with them finding out what everyone was up to. Next year they said they are bringing their crew.

Hey isn't that "Scuba Steve?"
At dusk we headed over to the local Walmart (only in a po-duck town like Granbury) to watch the fireworks from the parking lot. It was a great show - very long! We always say that the 4th of July is great until firework time actually the traffic afterwards - every year we say we are skipping it next year - but every year we endure for the kids. They get such a kick out of the booms and bright colors.
