The day before the 4th the kids made an expensive trip to the fireworks stand, and I put beer on ice and a smoked pork roast into the slow cooker.
The weather was hot on the 4th but we had cold beer, pulled pork, a bonfire and fireworks over the lake - all from our backyard. We were joined by my good friend Mac and his daughter Sophia (Ryan's best friend), and Hannah and Gus's friend Calvin. Mac and Sophia spent the night and we all got up in the morning and went for breakfast at the airport.
Just one of those really nice family days where you are so glad to be who you are and where you are.
Mac teaching Ryan about fireworks safety . . . hah!
