Because the 24th of July is a holiday, it means that it's a whole day of play! Out celebration with Bryan began on Sunday night the 23rd with a party that Emily hosted at their home. And it was twice as fun because Adam and his family were there, too!
Before we went to Bryan's for dessert, Heather hosted us and Adam's family for dinner. Here are clever Eliot and Peter with some plate decor - I love these clever grandchildren!
Here Bryan is ready to light his giant birthday candle! It goes off a little like sparklers and then the sides open and it plays "Happy Birthday" (Notice that his "cake" are ice cream sandwiches made with home make cookies!)
Here it is open - you had to be very quiet to hear the Happy Birthday song!
Bryan, surrounded by nieces and nephews on both sides exploring the fireworks!
Here are Emily's parents - the Parkinsons!
Emily and Jill watching the ground display
Now dark enough to light sparklers and watch them glow - Yea, Peter!
Adam was kind enough to get a tickets to Bee's game with their family. We hadn't been to a game there for probably 50 years (and actually it was a much newer, larger stadium!)
Here we are, including a former missionary companion of Wendi's family - although all of the red heads could be Dunfords..
And then came my favorite part - all of the fireworks, and there were some great ones!
