One of our road trips was a visit to Hubby's brother and his family in Indiana. This has been a tradition the past few years on Independence Day. Hubby's brother always has a great fireworks show set up, and this year they invited nearly 100 people to bring a potluck dish and join us for dinner before the fireworks show. Nearly that many actually came! The bad news is that the fireworks show was rained out; the good news is that every family brought food and those women sure know how to cook! By the way, all of you who think I'm such an extrovert should have seen me hiding in the kids' rooms trying to escape the crowds that night. I realized I am still an introvert at heart; I'm just a chatty one now! :)
Here's the whole gang posing for a very sweaty group photo.

Big Sissy, who will work on a task until she gets it, FINALLY learned to blow a bubble!

The kids loved sparklers in their pajamas!

Great pics of lovely people! I am so glad you guys had such a fun time, and just a little jealous. ;) I wish we were closer together and could all hang out together sometime. <3 I hope the rest of your year continues to be full of marvelous memories!
Your delight in the simple things of life never fails to make me smile. I love you, sweet Christy. Also think there are few young women on the face of this earth that can compare to your precious sister-in-law. She's a jewel. So glad you're making these wonderful family memories.
Love your pictures... And tell Big Sissy I'm proud of her for blowing bubbles. I still remember when I finally figured it out, too! :)
I love the line "My handsome husband--and a chicken"... ha ha!
