Pancakes, Hot Dogs & Fireworks

My family was altogether for the 4th of July this year. The last time all 8 of us were together for the 4th was 1976 so this was a special treat. We got together at my parents the next evening and quickly got this picture taken when the rain started.

It is tradition to have breakfast in the park with Den's family on the 4th. It was nice to have all of our kids there.
Lyndie and Nate with their matching T-shirts..ahhh....
Cole with his shades
Jandie & Colin (where Jandie is - Colin is also....)
All three of my kids
Watching the firework show
Shirley looked over at Jandie & Colin and said "they are so cute, they remind me of Bambi & Feline" 
My nephew Jason always brings his remote control car and entertains the crowd as it whips around the street with a firework taped to it.
Colin's truck tailgate became Firework Headquarters for Wayne & Ken and the boys.
Watching the fireworks
We had a safe and happy 4th, but boy was I tired at the end of the night.

June in Review

 Den got some new movies for Father's Day and back massager. We all took a turn trying it out. I think I might be using this myself...
 Cole came down for his birthday and we enjoyed a dinner at Cafe Rio and then came back to the house for Cookie Sheet Cake and he opened his presents.
Colin traded in his motorcycle and got him a little Nissan truck. He has had fun tinkering around with it.
