Fourth of July

We had a great 4th of July this year.

James came home from Illinois.  

I had hoped there would be more pictures of his time at camp, but he was pretty busy.

Jon made an American flag out of Mega Blocks

On Saturday we were invited to a friend's house for a party. 

We stopped off at the new Le Blanc's grocery store 

(don't even think you know how they pronounce that down here)

to get some watermelon's to bring.

They had kid-size carts there - look at his face, ha!

Here are some pictures from the party. 

There was food, volleyball, food, softball, food, washers (a new game I learned), food, and fireworks.  And also music.

Brian and James played ball - they ended up being on opposite teams though.  

Brian on 3rd base and James as the 3rd base man.

washers

They live out in the country so fireworks are legal (and encouraged based on the 5 or 6 fireworks stands we passed on the way there).

James, tried to look patriotic with the fireworks behind him.

Sort of worked.

Glow bracelets

Fireworks!

These were not your little back yard type fireworks.  These were huge, rivaling the display we drive to the levy to see sometimes.  

I took an awesome video of them, but my phone died during the video and it was lost somehow.  

We had a great time!
