4th of July 2009!
Well, this year was a little sparse family wise, but it was nice and relaxing! We spent most of the day with some friends in south OC and enjoyed their pool. Then after we came back home, we picked up Aunt Helen (pictured with Kaleigh and Cole) and headed over to Uncle Kenton's house (Carl's Uncle). There we ate an early dinner and then waited for the sun to go down. Kaleigh and Cole were a little excited about fireworks.
We didn't have that many, but the ones we had were pretty good! Especially since we bought them earlier that day! We had a little trouble finding snakes, but Uncle Kenton found some so we were good!
Carl's parents came and of course Annette always wears her patriotic blouse (that she sewed herself!) and they enjoyed watching the kids with their sparklers.
I think I was the one that mentioned the fact that this may be the last time we would be able to come to the old family home and do fireworks as Carl's grandparent's home is now up for sale. They are both gone and the only one living there previously was Kenton's brother, who passed away about 2 years ago. Kenton comes and goes from S. OC between his condo and this home.
Kaleigh and Cole had a blast with the sparklers and enjoyed the rest of the fireworks too!
Hey, Carl, are you the Statue of Liberty? Uh...you know there was only one torch, right? Oh, I see the other one went out....hehe. Hope you all had a happy 4th!

Looks like you guys had fun too...
So for next year, if we're all up for Catherine's graduation, maybe you could do the 4th with us again?
Just a thought :)
I guess it would depend on when her graduation is? I talked to Connie and she was going to check with the school to get the date. They should have it already planned if they are anything like out schools out here.
It would be really fun though!
