We celebrated the 4th of July evening with family at the Parde's home. Josh's cousins Brenda, Ronda, Kayla, Sindy, Trisa, Janoa, and their families were all there, and his parents and brother Malachi came too. We had such a great time!
Here's some of the family waiting on the patio for dinner to begin:
cousin Brittany and I:
Jonah and Micah eating dinner with cousin Emma:
Ammon making homemade ice cream with Dennis' hand crank machine:
Chatting the night away:
We had patriotic "red, white, and blue" homemade ice cream--strawberry, vanilla, and huckleberry. It was SOOOO delicious! I think we all had seconds of it! We scoooped it into plastic cups to eat it. I had all 3 layers of flavors in mine both times and enjoyed every spoon of it!
I got in with some of the teens for a few rounds of games (see all our cups from eating ice cream). I brought Imaginiff and Qwirkle, and we had a fun time playing!
We stayed until dark to watch the fireworks in town from the balcony of Dennis & Janoa's back porch. Because we were 7 miles from town, and at a higher elevation, we were actually looking down on the fireworks. It wasn't as great of a show from so far away as I thought it would be. Next year, we'll go back to driving into town to watch the fireworks. We had an awesome evening, celebrating the 4th of July with fun family members!
