July 5th Celebration

Before we even moved into our house, we began a tradition--we have a July 4th celebration here at our house. This year marked the 5th year of our fun times. We celebrate it on a Saturday close to July 4th instead of the actual day. Each year there have been new people and it is great to all hang out and have fun. We started at the house, then to the lake where the kids swam and the men played volleyball, then back home to cook hot dogs and eat ALL the food everyone had brought. The food was delicious!! The kids (and there were MANY of them) enjoy hanging out and playing in the backyard. Just as things were winding down a storm began to brew so everyone started packing up and headed out. It was lots of fun and we can't wait until next year.
