4th of July Celebration

For 4th of July our cousins from Oklahoma came to visit us. It was the McBride family and they stayed with uncle Paul and Auntie Tesa. Which basically meant everyone one else was living there too while they were in town. The boys were so exhausted by the time they left. They were staying up really late and waking up early. Only a couple days would they sleep in. We had a ton of fun with the relatives and 4th of July was a blast. We BBQ at Uncle Paul's house for lunch and dinner and than it was fireworks time! Uncle Paul ended up spending $400 on fireworks and Daddy spent about $100 too! It was a great show and the kids loved it! They also got to do sparklers before the "older" kids did the big fireworks. Below are some picture from the weekend. Thanks McBride family for all the fun we had with you! We hope to see you again soon, otherwise next year for Thanksgiving!

I enjoyed seeing you all again thru your pictures especially the kids. But I haven't seen TJ and Anthony there? I missed you and the kids. Your 4th of July was really great.
