What a 4th!!!

WOW, we had a great time yesterday!!! Sean, Jodi, Jackie and Kevin came over for dinner. We also invited the neighbor over because they had no family coming, and they are just so nice!! They help us out a lot around here. So, Gerrick grilled some ribs and chicken and I made potato salad, cole slaw, deviled eggs and beans. I had the kids shuck corn in the morning, and forgot to boil it. Luckily Jodi brought a veggie pizza, so we had veggies!! Everything was very good, a little late, but very good.
After dinner we played croquet and had cake and ice cream for Sean's Birthday which was on the 2nd. The kids really love having Uncle Sean and Aunt Jodi here! They don't see them very often, but it seems like it doesn't take them long to remember how much fun they are!
We headed downtown around 8:30, I was worried we wouldn't find a spot! But, we just wiggled in around the people that had been there all day! The kids really liked the fire works. I thought they were a lot shorter than last year, but they really do a great job of choreographing them to the music!
Unfortunately Jackie, my mother-in-law, was not able to make it to the fire works. She suddenly got very sick. She said it is going around at her work. Hopefully none of us get sick!!! She stayed home and slept. Hope she is feeling better!
Well, it was a busy day, and full of fun! That is what summer is all about!
