I have been asked over and over again, "How's your summer vacation?" Well, this picture explains it. I am having a good time with my family. It is a time where we can laugh and have a good time without feeling the pressures of the world. The kids all have a good time together and it is so much fun to watch each of their personalities when we are together. I thank God that He gives us a picture of his love through the feeling of family.

Family, fireworks, snowcones, waterballoons, bike parades, etc., etc. We had a blast on the fourth! Jamys still does not like loud noises so the ear phones helped out! He loved the fireworks outside this year!!

We celebrated the fourth over two days. Fireworks for two nights and family fun both days. The cousins all like to play in water and just run around!! Angie Pangie brought some games and snow cone machine. Gaga, Granny, Gia, Aunt Pattie, (woman of many names) had the yard decorated. She had help from cousin Hannah. Aunt Debbie brought the swimming pool. The dads filled water ballons and the moms, well, we sat and directed the entire time! We enjoy time together. Then we had a bike parade that did not last too long only because it was so hot and not to mention close to lunch time!!!! It was a special two days together. Pictures capture the memories that keep us remembering the event but the day is special because we do have the freedom to do the things we enjoy.
