July 4th

The 4th of July is more than just Independence Day for us.  We also celebrate our anniversary of moving here.  Can you believe we've been here five years?
Lighting "kids" fireworks
 My sister's family came over for the day.  We had food and fireworks.
The chickens were free ranging and came alarmingly close to our party.  They were eating broken chip pieces right next to the table.  Mina would have never let that happen.
The kids loved the parachute guys and the giant sparklers and the tanks and snakes and the marshmallows and the chocolate and graham crackers... But this was the first time in many years that Mark and I were sound asleep by 10:30? 11:00? and didn't even hear when the neighbor's fireworks ended.  We are still feeling a bit like zombies.
