Wednesday

Well it was a nice morning with temps in the 60's and a nice breeze which made for a pleasant way to start the day. The kiddos were awake around 7, so after our quiet time we made a breakfast of sausage patties, eggs and biscuits. After the clean up we got ready to head out to our friends Eddie and Kimberly's farm. Eddie is still recuperating from his ankle replacement surgery so I sat with him while Kimberly took Ava and Sam out to the stables and saddled up one of their 12 horses for them to ride on. They had a wonderful time riding as well as playing with their 4 dogs and as many cats. It was nearly noon by the time we left and headed back to the cabin.

After a lite lunch of left overs I took the kids off on a golf cart ride to the top while Amy and Nancy tidied up the cabin and got ready for our guests for supper. We were having neighbors Gerald, Jodie and Gabriel as well as the Dalton Gang, Andy, Mechelle, Kathryn(Kallie) and Caleb as well as Mechelle's folks Gerald and Kay Luffman. Well once again we had another scrumptious meal of jalapeno poppers, burgers, dogs, baked beans, macaroni salad, homemade banana pudding and homemade strawberry ice cream. Yikes was that ever a feed and thanks to all who contributed. After the clean up we played 4 games of Sequence and the guys put it on the gals 3-1, oh my what a defeat for the gals as it was 3-0 at one time and one game they had no whites at all. Oh well!!!

After the Dalton's and Luffmans headed out we played a round of 5 Crowns and Tyler put it on the rest of us big time. It was bath time for the kiddos and we got them in to bed around 9 PM. We had a fun time as we celebrated the 4th with family, neighbors and good friends and we even had a lite shower of rain which kept it cooled down despite the 80 degree temperature. We are watching the celebration on the mall in D.C. which is very entertaining with lots of old favorite songs and great instrumentals.

Here are a few pics from todays activities on this 4th of July celebrated with daughter Amy and her husband Tyler, grand babies Ava and Sam, neighbors and close friends, LATER
