This weekend has been so much fun! Dad always puts on a MAJOR 4th of July party - all day full of outside activities from swimming to fishing, from corn hole to ladder golf, and don't forget eating and fireworks! :-) This weekend I started early since my sister was in town from Montana! I came down Friday for some girl-time with Mom, Sarah, and my Grandma! We went antiquing and to lunch at a neat little down town favorite! Then came the swimming and porch sitting...
My mom and dad have the best back porch on the planet! I could sit out there for HOURS reading and talking and napping!
These are my sister's dogs! All three girls, from left to right Carlie Gene, Paris, and Ella. They are Chinese Cresteds (the hairless dogs) and are so funny!
The highlight of Friday was a trip to Couch's! Sarah observed that for the first time in YEARS all 5 of us were together "with no extras!" Chris and Lily stayed in the boro to have a low key 4th... no fun watching people swim in a cast on, so that worked nicely... Malcolm was visiting his family... and Ken was working so his Sarah and girls weren't there. It was kinda neat!
We all went out to the pit when Ken and Dad went to take the meat off! They still cook on a brick pit over a real fire, turned by hand periodically through the day - the real deal! We had fun laughing and taking pictures and talking about when we were kids at the restaurant!
We gave everyone jobs and deemed me "the drinker."
Sarah was "the watcher!"
Mom was "the door holder!"

It's the original - it's been there since 1946!
Saturday was spent playing Scrabble and Boggle with my Aunt Lisa, Mom, and Sarah. Then we headed to the pool for the afternoon after a lunch of Raspberry Tea and BLT's, where we were joined by Daddy and Malcolm! Today is the BIG celebration! I can't wait!
