Celebrating America's Birthday


For the 4th of July, we went to the lake for a picnic and to play in the water.  (Blessing #880)  The weather was HOT.  107 degrees hot.  Perfect day to be at the lake.  In the dirty mucky fishy water.  Okay, maybe it wasn't that bad, but I usually have to psych myself up to get into lake water.


After a stop at the Dairy Barn for ice cream (#881), we headed home to get cleaned up before the Kroll's firework show. 


The firework show was A-MAZ-ING!!!  Unbelievable!  (#882)  Our friends are crazy about fireworks.  They are pyro-maniacs and LOVE this time of year.  Here's a look at about half of their boards as they set them up.  They're all connected by wires and are ignited by an electric panel board with lots of buttons.  Jillian called it a "cool science project".  The fireworks were at a new location this year, and they spent a few days watering down the grass to prevent any accidents. 


Ready for the show to begin.
