well, i got up at 7:30 this morning and made "panacakes" for all the family. then i went with keith to ingles, along with all the vacationers, and picked up the rest of our stuff for the annual jones fourth of july celebration. we got home where oma was making her delicious cucumber salad and her out of this world potato salad. i made my 4th of july cake and put out everything that we would need for the afternoon's feast. we ate lunch and brenna took her nap. when she got up matt and tasha had arrived with heather and jim and jayden. they stayed for a little while and then matt, tasha, kayla, nathan, brenna and i went to the lake where we met up with jan and kevin o'quinn. we had a lot of fun swimming in the lake and visiting. i swear, brenna is part fish!
we left at around 5:3o and got home, cleaned up, and started putting everything out. we had hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, cucumber salad, all kinds of chips, a cookie 4th of july cake and tasha's chocolate cake, and my cake plus cokes and such. it was so much fun to see everyone sitting around eating and talking and just enjoying being together. after we cleaned up we all went to the comfort inn parking area and waited for the fireworks to start. we were thrilled to see kayla on top of the van so she could get good shots of the fireworks. all told we had about 15 people there (pepere, oma, tasha, matt, nathan, kayla, brenna, bj, me and keith, jan and kevin o'quinn, don, heather, and jayden).
all in all we had a blast! we then came home and played with sparklers. brenna was thrilled!
