We found Jill and the girls on the parade route and watched with them. Then we came home and rested. Later we drove south to Jan's house on Henderson Bay near Gig Harbor. It was a beautiful day, full of mountain majesty.
We ate lots of good food. Some of us, the younger ones, went kyaking. Some of us, the olders, sat a lot.
It was great to have our three generations all together.
We watched the sun go down.
Jake lit the fire and the kids lit off Jill's fireworks.
All around the bay the neighbors and visitors were putting on a show, a big show!
Tom got some great photos.
We got home after midnight and the celebrating around us lasted well into the night. I think it was finally quiet enough to go to sleep about 2:00. The next morning, going to breakfast, the air was still full of smoke. The 4th was celebrated with a bang, all over.
It was a grand old 4th.
Wow! What a PERFECT Independence Day celebration you had! You are so lucky to have all of your beautiful family together. I can't help but be a bit envious. I love all your patriotic t-shirts and blouses.
ReplyDeleteThe sun went down and quiet conversation continued.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful. I almost didn't see you sitting there in the shade, but I'm glad I looked again!
ReplyDeleteThat was really a fun July 4th celebration. I so enjoyed seeing all the family together again. Especially love the picture of you and Irene. All the pictures are special. And the story of Gus the Bus, is just wonderful. I know it did all your hearts good to see Gus all dressed up and redone. It was quiet here, as usual. :)
