Fourth of July

We had some great friends over for the Fourth of July... we ate a yummy brisket that cooked all day with all the fixins. The fireworks were the best we've ever seen from the Moore's backyard. I seriously don't think that we could have been any closer. Kasiana got a little scared, but once we moved her back a little ways she did better. She still had her face buried into my shoulder. Afterwards, she said that they were a little bit fun..Phil, is this how you used to toss the girls up in your cheerleading days?

Waiting for the fun to begin... which will be brighter... the flash of my camera or the fireworks?

Hanging out with Phil and Janelle

That's a big tummy...

We had planned to make homemade peach ice cream, but when we pulled the ice cream freezer out of the garage we found a dead robin in the bottom of the freezer. Yuck! "So that's the secrete to good homemade icecream," our friends thought...

We braved cleaning out the cooler the next day, and celebrated a second time with all of the leftovers. What a fun weekend! We need to have our friends over more often.
