4th of July

We had our annual 4th of July get together.  The festivities started off with silly string.  Even Edie got in on the fun.

Amber and Steve were the last to leave the table.  She was not leaving as long as there were crab legs on the table and Steve was picking through the leftover shrimp.

And then it was time for fireworks!

Gussie still is a little afraid of them.  On the other hand Edie loved them!

This is one of everyones favorites.  We love to see the lantern fly up in the sky.

The 4th of July

We started the day off by taking Olivia to the St Charles parade.  She loved the balloons & horses.  Did not care for the clown though!

Mary, Catherine & Michael helped decorate the jello.

This motorcycle looked good at first.

Then it made a really loud screeching noise!

We found a tree monkey.

The crowd gathers for the show in the backyard.  Olivia and Michael only lasted for the first firework.  Then I took them inside!

Aunt Sunny got quite the workout.

This is a little blurry.  I think someones nose pressed up against the lense.  This ice cream turned out quite tasty.
