This year's fourth of July was probably one of the most fun and relaxing fourths in a long time. We started off at Danicia and Deidra's house where we had a yummy bbq (the chicken was sooo yummy) And I know if would have stayed there we would have had a lot of fun swimming and hanging out with the fam, but we headed to Turlock to spend time with my family. We went over Auntie Cathy's house where they have been having their annual Fourth of July party since 1976... WOW! It is always so much fun. We swam in her pool, the kids swung on the swings, and bounced in the bounce house, we played a little volleyball and horseshoes too. The food was yummy (everyone brings something) and then she has a little program, nothing formal, but we sing a few patriotic songs and remember what our soldiers have sacrificed for our freedom. Dessert was the bomb diggity... always homemade ice cream and tons of other goodies! When it started getting dark we headed over to my parents house where the kids did sparklers and Doug put on a little firework show for us. Then we were able to see 4 different huge fireworks shows from my parents yard... Stanislaus State, somewhere in Hilmar, Modesto Nuts baseball, and somewhere in Denair area. Then of course since my parents live in the country we were able to see all the illegal fireworks going off in the surrounding orchards :) The kids had a fabulous time and so did we!
