4TH OF JULY

Hope everyone had a great 4th!!! We did! Our neighbors had a bbq....a bbq in 100 degree weather in the middle of summer in Texas! Crazy huh? It was a lot of fun. The food was delicious. We pulled out the blow up pool for the kids and turned on the sprinklers. I think the adults were about to jump in with all our clothes on just to try and cool down a little bit! We live close to a baseball field where they were setting off fireworks, so it was nice not to have to drive far or sit with crowds of people!

The 4th for me has always been my favorite time of year and a favorite memory for me growing up! I would ALWAYS go up to northern CA with my mom to visit her family in Chester. It is a very small town. There is only one main street and every year thousands and thousands of people would gather there to watch the parade. It always consists of fire trucks, logging trucks (kind of what the town is known for, they have their own logging mill in town) corvette clubs, dance clubs, boy scouts, family reunions and any company trying to get a little publicity. They are a lot of fun!!! Then we would gather at my uncles house for a bbq and great game of volleyball. It is a lot of fun and i miss it so much. Hard to go these days being here in Texas. My family was there this year and i wasn't able to go. Maybe next year!!!
