4th of July & Golfing

We did our front yard neighborhood bbq again for the Fourth this year. We tried to invite a few more neighbors this time, kids from the street came and went as usual, which we just love.

Cole helped Mom bake a cake before our noon meal.

Do I need to caption this photo?










This was part of our dinner group, we had others for our lunch group but we didn’t grab the camera for that meal.Most are neighbors; two are good friends and then one family from Cole’s baseball team. Good times.


Cheers to you Stan!
You know who you are!

Coffee all day.
(prove other wise)











We lit off our fireworks along with watching Daniel’s (neighbor kid) much larger loot, and turning often to see the BIG bangs of those who didn’t buy from the same fireworks booths we did.
We then turned our attention to Dale & Francis’s front porch to see the city’s fireworks show over the river. They have the best view through the trees and we are planning on letting the city know that some of the trees need some pruning up to keep them healthy and beautiful. (ok, not really) In a few more years and we will actually have be at the park to see the show the way things keep growing.

Sheila and Lori invited the family for some par 3 golfing.
As you can see, we said yes.

Jo was tired when we got there but perked up at seeing what was going on. She did awesome! Showing no interest with golf at home in the yard she was excited about this golfing. The wood was too heavy for her so she stuck with the iron and putter and by the end of the nine she was doing great! Asking how to hit it farther and knowing how to line up her feet and hold her hands on the club. She is ready to go again!


Cole has gone with friends to driving ranges and putting greens but I believe this was his first nine holes as well. He, of course, enjoyed himself too and after every green he would say “I had a double boggy” or throw out some other golfing score term he has heard before. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know what they mean but he threw out a score none the less.
