New York Vacation: 4th of July

We arrived in the wee hours of the morning July 4th. That afternoon Karen invited Great Grandma as well as Karen's brother, sister, nephews + family over for a BBQ picnic. The weather was perfect, the food was yummy and everyone had a great time.

I had purchased the kids matching flag shirts before the trip and we took the opportunity to talk down the road to get some pictures taken in front of an old red barn. It was the perfect setting and I plan to get some of the pictures printed and replace the kids and family picture we currently have up.


We also took the opportunity to get a picture with Great Grandma:


That night we went to another town (Chili-pronounced Ch-eye-lie!) for fireworks. While we were wandering around the vendors there Emma found $42 (she has this strange ability to find money everywhere!!). We asked people in the line, waited around for a while, but no one seemed to be missing it. Later we found a policeman and turned the money. They will wait 30 days and if no one claims the money they will mail it to N8's dad.

The kids each got ice cream and we watched some great fireworks.
