July 4th

We travelled home to spend a few days with and to celebrate Independence Day with our family. We grilled -- the menu consisted of smoked Boston butt, grilled hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken, layered salad, potato salad, pasta salad, coleslaw, baked beans, deviled eggs, hash brown casserole, macaroni and cheese, and rolls. For dessert there were brownies, cookies, cakes and homemade ice cream... There were alot of us.

We played in the pool and enjoyed our time with each other.

 

Ryan (our oldest) didn't make the trip with us, so we let Will (our youngest) take two friends along.

The next day we took Will and his friends to Stone Mountain Park in north Georgia.

That's Will on the uppermost level of the course.

He's braver than I am.
