What a great day to be alive. We had a fun celebration with the Virginia Crowleys. Culpeper was hoppin too. A 5K in the morning and the Bradleys from St George, Salt Lake and Fairfax came to run. Matt and James went to the old time car show with their daughters in tow.........Then there was the old time parade. We decided to miss. The Crowleys came with darling granddaughters. New little Audrey and busy little Charlotte. We didn't need parades with these two to gather our attention.
Gabe came with her famous potato salad and even more famous baked beans. As a bonus she slipped in a Texas Sheet Cake. It doesn't get much better. Matt and Andrew put our new grill together and cooked hot dogs, hamburgers and fruit kabobs. We even talked Grandma Neider into her famous German Chocolate Cake. Well, if you haven't had that recently...........give it a go when Grandma visits. We swooned from so much delicious food and good company.
Melanie's mother (from Salem, UT) was still here with Mel and the baby and it was a good opportunity to get to know her better. She has taken good care of Mel, Audrey and Andrew.
Right when the fireworks were set to go, it started raining. Oh well -- we just remembered last year when Tanner, Lauren, and Carsen were with us on the lawn. Love the 4th. It always is fun to fix a fun feast and relax the day away.
