Wasn't that a party!

Our 4th of July party was great fun! After morning rain, it cleared up and became a very nice day - not too hot, not too cool - just right. Besides hot dogs and burgers, Stephen made some beer brats and lamb souvlaki and it was all so yummy. I think that everyone had fun.

Just before 9pm, three families (including us) walked up to the city center (about a mile and a half) to watch the fireworks display. It was quite a show! It lasted over 30 minutes. The kids had a fabulous time. I got a little choked up watching them watch the fireworks. They were in awe and I enjoyed the moment because I know one day that fireworks won't be able to compete with video games or the kids won't want to sit with us. It was wonderful.
