What are your plans for today? I am catching up on some housework and enjoying being inside and cool. Probably grill out later on, other that that just relaxing. There are a lot of celebration events going on around here but I just want to stay cool today.

Grilling and kicking back

Ate breakfast at Bob Evans, then to Celebration, Florida (Disney area) for a walk-through, shopping and patriotic displays. Now home making baked beans to take to my sister's for grilling burgers, dogs and steaks, home-made ice cream, boardgames, swimming and FIREWORKS!

Every fourth we have over the Team that went to the Philippines with us that year, plus anyone from church and family that wants to come over. About 20 rsvp so far

From our house you can see all the major fireworks display and one is synq with a local radio station.

Paul, I didn't get my invitation!!

But we had a great day. Grilling, Community Events and Thanking God.

Yesterday we took the kids to a pool for swimming in the afternoon.
We let our 7 year old Gsons spend the nite. Today we went to Wally World and a local playground.

Tonite we went over my brothers house. Along with about 75 others LOL. He had two grills going and plenty of July 4th food.
He has a huge backyard with playground equipment, Trampoline, pool , tree house and stuff. Kids love it.

Come to find out he and a few of his old HS buddies who are still in touch have been doing this for a few years. They get together week b4 July 4th and make a run to the SC border. Fireworks.

They came home with about $1100 - $1200 worth. They had been planning it for some time..

My brothers friend Mark is the Pyro nut. He was like a kid at Christmas. He and a few others fired off the fireworks for almost a solid hour as fast as they could. There was some big and loud stuff. People from all over the neighborhood was coming over and sitting in the neighbors yards. Car drove by and stopped in the street.

It was great..

Not sure if this will work but

A friend took some photos and posted on facebook.

I spent the 4th in Cleveland, TN with my second family. I found the local pool Friday for some "sun" worship...and then returned on Saturday with my friends grandson... Then back to her home where she was fixin' up potato salad, baked beans (that were to die for) and hamburger (actually chopped steak burgers).... Add in a little shopping both days...and an awesome church service on Sunday... All the ingredients of a great weekend...
