4th of July

This is what holidays are all about! Family being together. There is nothing that Dean and I enjoy more than when our kids come home. The world just seems to be tilted right when they are here.





The NO-T-SHIRT contest!










These are our precious granddaughters, Hannah, Maddy, Sophia and Delaney. And we found out that Hannah is to have a brother or sister soon...what blessings they are! The girls played in the water wherever they were to stay cool ... here it's in the alligator slide pool!



Don't you wish you had red hair and blue eyes? (Hannah)



I'M the birthday girl! (Madelyn)




Got MILK? (Sophia)













Some got COOL and some don't!
















Gosh, she looks so grown-up! (Delaney)
















Captain Dean in all his glory!



Frank and Anne came for the weekend, as well as Ray, Amanda and Elijah. We took an evening ride to watch the fireworks at the dam from Mr. Bill's dock. Maddy did not like the fireworks, even from Nana's lap.



Marcus and Ryan, enjoying the ride!




Dean, David and Ryan, solving the world's problems.




And, of course, everyone had to go swimming.




A perfect end to the day...Maddy and Delaney rode the tube!
