Fourth Fun

Every year on the 4th of July, we go to my Aunt Mona's and Uncle David's to celebrate. They absolutely live to entertain and have created a place just for that. It's hard to even describe, so hopefully a few of the pictures will shed a little light on why we enjoy going there so much.

First and foremost....it's the FOOD!

It wasn't all brought out yet in this photo...but this is the service area.


Uncle David is an excellent cook and can feed an army. Attendance was a little low this year for some reason, but even though David never knows how many to expect....there is always plenty of food. And variety! So yummy I can't help but overeat...

Then there is the 'public park sized' playground for the kids! See it in the background there?




I just had to post this one 'cause I think it's cool....




And the stocked pond for fishing...


or swimming....

That slide back there......it goes into the pond. There is also a big dock with a swing on it. Too bad I'm not a pond swimmer...


or boating...




You can't forget the miniature cars! A favorite of the boys. These pictures represent only a small sampling of the cars...


Unfortunately, Josh will no longer be able to ride them....legs...






And the cars can be ridden around and around this gazebo, which is the center of festivities.


A view from the gazebo...


What 4th of July would be complete without fireworks? The evening ends with a spectacular show!

Nathan enjoyed his first look at fireworks!


This picture does no justice for the quality....


Certainly, NONE of this would be complete without the fellowship of family and friends!
FUN TIMES....can't wait for next year.
