Thursday Evening: We went down to my uncle Larry’s Lake House for a pre 4th of July party. There was lots of food, family, fun & FIREWORKS! Keith always seems to put on an excellent fireworks show, but this year he went above and beyond. The boxes for some of them were huge with a small fuse sticking out the corner. I am not sure where he found them at or how much they cost. Below are some pictures!
A pile of some of the fireworks!
CAUTION: Sets Off Car Alarms???
Beautiful!
I stole this picture from Lisa! Amazing!
Friday (4th of July): We headed down to the Osage River with the Schwartze family. While there were some clouds overhead and the river was up, it was a perfect day for floating. Finally these white legs were getting some long needed sun! The food was excellent as usual and the Fireworks were very entertaining. We usually anchor a floating dock out in the middle of the river and that is where they set the fireworks off. But since the river was up and the current was swift, they were shooting the fireworks off right along the bank…which sometimes was a little too close for comfort. The funniest part of the show was when an “un-named” family member threw some lit Blackcat fireworks onto the dock in which the boys were setting off the fireworks. They had no clue what he had done until they started going off right below their feet. They began jumping and legs were flying as they were trying to get out of the way. It was sooo funny. They were about to bail into the river!
Saturday: I was such a bum, I should have went to work! I did manage to do some house cleaning and washed all the baby clothes I have accumulated from garage sales. Andy on the other hand worked hard doing some jobs with his skid steer. That evening we went down to Donnie and Shanda’s and shot off a few more fireworks. Which was not a good idea because it scared the crap out of the cows and they ended up getting out. After all of that excitement, we played some Tripoley and then some rounds of pitch until close to 2 in the morning.

Sunday: Consisted of another day of laziness on my part. After spending the first part of the day in the house, I made my way down the hill and swam/floated around in the pool. The water was absolutely perfect. Gradually everyone else started making their way in the pool as well. It was a very relaxing retreat for such a hot day!
