Time to Celebrate. July 4th. Independence Day. Since we all spend so much time away from home we decided to have our own celebration at home. I got off work on Monday and begin gathering all the food and drinks for a real hardy bunch. The oldest grandson (who lives next door) was as excited as me about everyone getting together again so soon. We were all together just a month ago and had so much fun. Gramps is traveling from Houston and the other grand kids are coming from Arkansas. They were all coming in on Thursday. As it turned out our daughter just dropped her two kids off and went to the cabin for some peace and quite time. So it was just me and all the grand kids until Gramps got there. It wasn't long before we heard him honking as he came down the drive. Kids running dogs barking. The place is alive with excitement.
They unloaded the fireworks from the truck and begin looking over the package. Wow, this is gonna be so cool. We decided to have a wiener roast that night and just set off a few of the fire works just to get the week end started and make sure they work.
Up late, up early. Breakfast for all and the preparation for the BBQ began before noon. The Older kids started to come in and out but the grand kids stuck right with us.
It was hard to wait until it got dark. We ate, moved to the porch and watched the guys get set up for our big display. We were saving The Big Dog for the big finally.
