Saturday

We started our day by having a delicious brunch on Marlin and Nancy’s delightful enclosed deck.

We and three of my siblings (it didn’t suit Clair and Kate) had so much fun reminiscing and catching up on each others lives.

On the two-mile drive home I noticed a beautiful red-tailed hawk sitting on a post and asked Cerwin to back up. By the time we stopped it flew away.

By evening we went to Jeff and Chris’ for a family supper and evening fireworks. The photo above is Lois (Chris’ mother), Chris and their granddaughter, Jade.

Jenna (Jade’s mom) and Lauree with their nephew Bennett.

I was the next one to cuddle with Bennett. He is the best baby – and kept sleeping as he was passed from one person to another.

Jade received a neat bubble machine from her grandpa and grandma.

After Mom demonstrated how it worked, Jade wanted to try it herself.

She figured it out, but had more fun when someone else dispensed the bubbles.

Eventually it became fun to make a pile of bubbles on the deck.

It was an incredibly delightful evening.

The beautiful full moon as it rose above the trees.

Jordan – with the help of several guys – gave the family, friends and neighbors a beautiful display of fireworks – beginning before it was quite dark.

There were probably 40-50 people in their yard.

Thank you, God, for a beautiful evening – and thank you Jordan and helpers for a fabulous fireworks display.
