4th of July

This 4th of July was a break from tradition for us.  In the past, we would bar-b-cue and have fireworks at my parent's home. How I miss those times! But, things are very different with my Mother being gone and my Dad being remarried. So, this year, we were invited to our good friends (the Pursers) to bar-b-cue and have fireworks.  It was good times, good food and good company. Mike cooked bratwurst and we had homemade ice cream made by Stacie and lemon pound cake made by Bonnie. Yummy!  The kids had fun doing fireworks and just hanging out together! We are so thankful for our friendship with the Pursers. They are like family to us.

Watching Fireworks

Disneyland - June 2010

 

Our family vacation was in California this year.  Most of the time was spent at Disneyland.  Both my sisters (Debbie & Amy) and their families came also.  We all love going to Disneyland together! It is fun for the girls to be with their cousins at Disneyland.  We all had fun riding rides, pin trading, meeting the characters and watching the World of Color, Fantasmic! and the fireworks.  Some of our favorite rides are: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Matterhorn. Of course, there are many more that we love!
One of the days, Amy, Wes and their girls drove down to Coronado Island with us to spend the day at the beach. Our Aunt Breta had us all over for dinner one night, and we were able to spend time with her and our cousin Mary.  It was a wonderful vacation and since we bought annual passes to Disneyland, we will be going back soon!
