4th of July

We had big plans for the 4th of July holiday this year, but the weather just didn't want to cooperate. Nana and Poppy came up to enjoy the festivities at Noni and Paw-paw's house. Chris cooked a huge feast of smoked pork, ribs, grilled veggies and fried potatoes. Grandpa Werner and Aunt Therese and her family came to enjoy the good food. We all thought the rain was going to ruin the fireworks spectacular that Uncle Michael brought, but the rain quit just in time. Little did we know the fog that followed the rain made the firework viewing next to impossible. We couldn't even see the fireworks put on by the church right down from the mountain! Chris and Michael did the best they could despite the lighter going out a few minutes into the show. Ethan was so excited all day about the fireworks, but when it finally came time he fell sound asleep! The fireworks may not have gone exactly as planned, but we had a great time with the whole family.
