God Bless America!

 Happy Independence Day!  
The 4th of July fell on a Wednesday this year, which made it kind of awkward for the usual party times, but we had a GREAT day!  We had a cook-out with Steve, Patti, Trish, Val, Andy, Barb, Bill, Ellie, Judy, Dick, Eli, Luke, John and William.  In 100+ temps again, the kids had fun on the slip and slide, sprinkler and kiddie pool while the grown-ups stayed in the shade and air conditioning as much as possible.  The weather has also been drought-like in addition to the heat - no rain in some areas around us in more than 1 month - so we also have many statewide burn bans and many communities imposed fireworks ban.  We were able to sneak some in safely - thanks, Andy!!

William in the action of dinner time.  They love when we set up a table in their room for the "party".


I think that William liked the cherries - don't you!?!  :)

Luke likes Mammaw's cupcakes!  A LOT!

William, Eli and Uncle Bill playing baseball.  The baseball/teeball was a "hit" - pun intended, but sincere.

Andy at command central for firework fun!  :)

Buddies forever!  John, William and Eli hanging out.
