Independence Day Eve

July 3rd - the plan was to go to the foam party & then fireworks at Kelly Park later that night.  So much for plans right?  We started the morning by shoveling dirt - lots of dirt.  Mom has been needing to get the ground right in front of the house filled back in after 35 years of settling - we also tore out the old shrubs several weeks ago.  Jim was able to load the dirt with a backhoe, but we got to shovel it off by hand.  It was a good job done.



It got good and chilly that afternoon so we talked the girls into a 4-wheeler ride instead of the foam party - I think that had more fun anyway.

Dutch oven chicken & potatoes were next - Yummy!

Look at this:
Its a beautiful view from my back yard !

Seth & Shelby headed to town for the FFA ice cream social, but didn't make it far before Seth tried to turn his truck around & went right off the road - high centered.  It takes talent to stay on the road all winter & then run off on the 4th of July weekend.


Thanks for the entertainment Seth!

The rest of us decided that the fireworks in town didn't sound that great anymore, so a fire in the backyard was a better option:


We had a great time just making smores & talking - the Stoors across the valley even provided some pretty great fireworks.  It was a pretty great way to celebrate!
