Happy 4th of July! We had a great time at The Ponderosa yesterday. As I drove up I had to stop and get gas. Next door to the gas station was a McDonald's with the American flag waving in the breeze against a beautiful blue Texas sky. We had a big day with the kids playing and swimming. Brisket was for lunch and later the guys fried fish they had caught earlier in the summer just for this occasion. The food was all fantastic with the fried fish, grilled veggies straight from the garden, dill potatoes, watermelon, apple pie with ice cream, lots of food to graze on all day. At the top is a picture of Jo and her cousin Alexis. I made them matching flipflops for the 4th. Uncle Daisey is holding Scout. She is growing so fast. Me and Matthew (Uncle Daisey). Of course living in the country we can put on our own fireworks show. It is always fantastic. Jo and her neighbor Brooklyn are holding sparklers. Other than the smoke bombs they to run through sparklers are the extent of their participation. The other fireworks are set up by the "big boys". Yes, the waterhose is always nearby. Eventually Jo and Brooklyn tired of the fireworks and and played in the sandbox. It was a very fun day.
