Better Than A Resort

It all started last night.....A 4th of July Party! We were having the usual guests, our kids and grandkids, but this year the guest list started growing. My neighbor called and suggested a little get-to-gether.....at my house. Then we started thinking of other people who might be in town. We got brave and started inviting! (A little fact.....our neighborhood is a ghost town during the 4th of July weekend....nobody wants to be here to experience the triple digits....outside!)

The calls began and we ended up with a crowd. Plenty of food, TONS of FUN, a super social event, a hard fought water basketball game, relays, diving board games that equaled endless pool time. (11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.) Actually....the weather was GREAT! Hot, but not suffocating.



I will say this is one of the BEST 4th of July celebrations ever! The company was exceptional! The Stinson Family, The Keller Family, The Hamblin Family and the Gregorys from California stopped in....plus our brood! (Ryan and Julie where are you??) We ate and played hard.....which means no fireworks for me tonight! It's time for some ZZZZZZZZZ's!

Happy Fourth of July!
