the one with a July 4th from the past

Happy 4th of July, America!

Summer Zoe, my youngest, had surgery last week.  It's nothing too serious, but we do need to stay home pretty much for a couple of weeks.  So, that means, we don't have big plans this 4th of July.  Devin is at the Slaton park cooking with the Knight's of Columbus, so that leaves me and Summer.  I think we may take in a movie.  That's it for us this year, I think.  It will be weird to not have the fireworks going off all around us.  This is our first year of living in town.  For the last 7 years, we've had fireworks going off all around us out at Saddleclub.  That was one of my favorite things, to lay by our pool, or in it and simply watch the fireworks on all sides going off like crazy!  They put on quite a show out there and they are just our neighbors!  LOL

I'm slowing scanning in photos around here and thought I'd share some of July 4th 2001.  For those interested, I'm taking these photos with my iPhone and storing them in the cloud as well as backing up to external disc.  I hope to eventually get all my photos organized and easily accessible.  Gosh, that would be a dream!  Wouldn't it?  

I hope everyone is having a great Holiday.  

Love Does,
Kristin

Kalyn, Summer and Sydni, 2001 at the Slaton Park enjoying some "fun in the sun".  Notice the fanny packs people.  These girls are styling!  

I can't remember where they got the bandana's?  It must have been at the park.  Right?  We started with bows and quickly added the "do rags".  Super cute, either way. 

Summer found the puppy!  I do remember it was super hot and we were all looking for some shade.  Summer was IN LOVE with this puppy!

after the park we all migrated to Chris and Keri's house.  L-R, Mayci, Sydni, Kalyn, Summer and Keilie.  They had a water tank there at their house that they filled with water and I'm sure had some sprinklers going.  We all cooked out and had a fun time watching all the kids run around.  

Once we started the fireworks, things got fun or intense.  There's really no in between at this age.  Kalyn Marie?  LOVED them!  Summer Zoe?  Not so much.  You can read it all over her face.  LOL

She participated, but she sure didn't enjoy it.  I don't think I blame her.  I'm more of a "let's watch the fireworks" instead of "Let's hold the fireworks".  LOL

Yep.  Long day.  We didn't live that far from Keri + Chris.  Maybe 5 miles away?  And yeah, asleep before we hit FM 41.
