Our 4th started with rain all morning, fortunately it cleared up just in time to start our festivities on the circle. Russell started the party around 3pm, when our neighbor, Jim, came over and they had a drink together. This year, we invited more guest than ever! We alone, had 5 couples and their kids. The chairs were lined up nearly all the way around the circle! Russell was quite the host. There were lots of friends, good food and hopefully everyone had fun (although I think some of us had MORE fun than others...).
Jameson wasn't his usual self. He was really clingy, bu he didn't act sick otherwise. He did go to bed around 9om, so he missed most of the big fireworks. :-(
The fireworks show was SPECTACULAR. They said next year, we're charging $5 admission. :-) Afterwards there as a haze over the circle, it couldn't have been good for our lungs, but we didn't have to worry about mosquitoes! Then, the guys got to shovel all of the debris into the middle of the circle and burn it in the fire pit (they've been looking forward to this all year!). We had a few surprises from the fire pit, but the funny thing is there was too much leftover! They didn't get it all burned before everyone went to bed! Oh and remember my comment about some of us having more fun than others? Well, Russell fell asleep in his chair in the middle of the circle! He didn't stay asleep long enough for the neighbors to marker him, but around 3:30am I had to tell him it was time to go inside.
We must have had lots of fun, because we didn't take any pictures!!
