Fireworks!

We had a very fun 4th of July holiday. My brother Colby, his wife Emily and their baby girl Martie came up from Arizona. We played a lot of Pinochle (card game) and lets just say that the Arizona team lost more than they won.

We had our annual fireworks display in my parent's front yard. It is much more tame since they outlawed the really good fireworks. But this year I was happy for that. Our house is still just framed on the outside and I spent the night watching to make sure that any stray sparks didn't sent my house or dead grass ablaze. Let's just say I wasn't very happy when my neighbor was shooting bottle rockets. But all is well.
