A busy fourth

     We started this lovely day with a much too early start to the day with a nice little road race.  Its a two mile sprint and the kids get faster and faster with it every year.  This year Lauren ran with them and I took up the rear with Jack, who beat me by a good ten seconds.  He did pretty good this year.  I didn't have to carry him on my shoulders at all....i'm getting too old for that.  Oh boy does two miles feel like twenty though....

     After the race we all went over to Kara's for some ribs, burgers and some water balloon fun.  Nana and Jack were the duo of the day as Nana kept us all in humor making sure that nobody got outside of the rules.  Her and Jack did really good as they went down to the final group on the first game.  Jackie did a great job catching.

     Oh and then it was off to the annual fireworkds show.  This years show seemed to be much better than usual.  The kids were well behaved and enjoyed the fireworks show.

     Laura has me take a picture of her with the fireworks exploding in the background every year.  She is turning in to a beauty.
