Waiting For Darkness

As we were waiting for it to get dark enough to set off the fireworks, everyone collected in the driveway for some socializing and a few drinks. After the fireworks, we planned to light the fire pit and put a movie on for the kids to watch. As I was taking pictures of the group, […]

Sisters

                                                    Kristie and Holan were making faces for the camera.

Odd & Ends

Two time on the fourth the kids got to do water balloon. Windy picked up a Bunch O Balloons Water Balloons. These are new on the market and is supposed to be the fastest way to fill balloons for water balloon fights. The pack had three sets each consisting of a hose attachment with 37 […]

A Scooter Ride

Steve gave some of the kids a ride on his scooter. I don’t know if there are any other pictures but these are the only two that were shared. Samantha really enjoyed her ride and kept wanting to go further and further. Not so sure Mom and Dad were happy that she enjoyed it. The […]

Eating Under the White Tent

This is the tent Steve purchased, it was cheaper to buy instead of renting one for the weekend. They didn’t put the sides on since it was going to be nice weather. It made a nice area to sit and visit before and after lunch. Rick had tables we used and Bob got chairs from […]

Time to Eat

Samantha made us a menu sign for our 4th of July Lunch. It helped people to see what was on the buffet as they were waiting in line. She really enjoys doing crafts and making posters. Maybe she will go into marketing or graphic arts when she gets older. When the conversation started on having […]

Hanging out @ Pool

There are times you want to get in the pool and other times you like just being around the pool. In this first picture is Wendy is in the pool but not in THE pool. Steve purchased a small kids pool for the little ones to play in, didn’t think about the adults using it […]

It’s All About Water Guns

As far as 4th of July weekend goes, this was a cooler water year. It was warm enough for the adults to get in but not too hot. One year we had to put bags of ice in the pool to cool it down. One thing about this 4th, we had more kids than usual […]

Lansing Fireworks 2

The fireworks were great, the city really did get their money’s worth. The only thing, that needs to be improved on, is getting people out of the park after the show is over.
