Annual Grand Point 4th of July

We had our 11th Annual Grand Point 4th of July Parade and Block Party, and while the turn out was different (all the original kids are "too cool" for it), it was nice to see so many new faces.  I always have such grand plans for the "rides" and it always turns out simple, but festive.  Our first time participating, Haley was 3 months old, and I completely forgot about it until about 10pm on the 3rd.  Bob had to run out to Walgreens and buy what few decorations remained - her stroller looked awesome though! (I will have to find that picture and put it on here)  For the potluck this year, Bob made this Broccoli Salad and ribs on his new smoker.  Then we all settled in for an hour-long fireworks spectactular right in front of us.  It was 80 degrees and just so nice.  It's awesome that the kids will always have this memory of home.  Even if the people change, the event stays the same.  And, of course, the night would not be complete with out Jace injuring himself in some way.  He took a nice bit of skin off his chin jumping on his scooter.

Love these photos. The kids do a great job -- That photo with the fireworks behind Jace is pretty cool. He would look good as a blonde, yes?
