Summer meals and the fourth of July

We eat most of our evening meals out on the patio between the pool and our pond.  It has been cool enough in the shade and clean up is easier.  After dinner on Monday we stayed out and had Family Home evening, after our lesson we played Poison Pole for our activity.  We joined hands and tried to pull someone into the poison pole to put them out.

Charlie loves to eat.

Josh and Allison and Allison's friend Liberty were the survivors.

Dug likes to play too.  

The MGA coupe is proceeding well.  The frame is painted and the body is soon ready to go back on.  The frame looks like a go-cart, the kids like to pretend to drive it around like Danica Patrick.

Morgan the safety conscious,

Today is July Fourth, we are celebrating Independence, and Josh's birthday.  We went to Heritage Park to play in the fountains.  It is hot today, about 95 or so, and the water felt good.  Iva loved running through the fountains.  Tonight we will watch the fireworks and do a few small ones of our own.
