The afternoon was spent swimming while Kathi and Eddie prepared the food. Eddie grilled 75 hamburgers and hot dogs. Stan had made his hash. Luke made pulled pork. There was potato salad, cole slaw, cantalope, tomatoes/onions/pickles, sliced cucumbers, taco dip, corn on the cob. Then there were the desserts. Jenny made her delectable banana pudding (it was gone in 10 mins!). Chelsea, Katie and Melanie made a special July 4th cake. Some guests brought cakes and pies. Despite having so many people there were still lots of food left. We took some home for another meal and put some in the freezer, gave some to neighbors and will still have some to take to the soup pantry.
Stan and I got there early enough so that I could get in the pool before the young people and do my therapy exercises. That made me hurt and ache so I left early and didn't get to stay for the fireworks. When I got home I hurt so bad that I couldn't go to sleep but eventually fell asleep about 11:00pm.
All the cars at Eddie and Kathi's house.
Little Hunter is looking in anticipation of all the fun!
A fancy cake!
Brett gets in the pool. He has his usual furrowed brow. He frowns like this whenever he's concentrating or unsure. It's his "thinking" look. Wonder what is going through his mind?
Jenny was talking to Kyle all the way in Iraq! We missed him, especially on July 4th!
Logan can now jump off the diving board and swim in the deep end!
Jenny tries to put Brett in a lifejacket that Great Grandmother bought her. Little Brett got to float in it!
Right as she got him in the pool, Kyle (from Iraq) called and she had to run answer the phone. Angie took Brett and floated him in the pool.
Brett just relaxed and enjoyed it. When his feet touched the side of the pool, he would push off.
Elaine gets Brett to take a nap.
Leftovers
The remains of Jenny's Banana Pudding. She says Kyle won't believe it.
