Update

We spent all day at dads. There is still so much to be done. I spent most of the day sorting pictures and dividing them up between the seven siblings. We stopped long enough to grill up some hamburgers for the crew. We were all pretty wiped out at the end of the day but our niece Kelly finished off our evening with some comic relief. She found an old pair of really short knit swimming trunks. They were red, white and blue. She also found the wig that grandpa used to wear when he dressed up as Santa. So she comes running out in these horrid swim trunks with the wig and is leaping through the house singing patriotic songs. Oh my.....I couldn't stop laughing. If that wasn't enough she also found a really bright pair of quilted pants and she came out singing Michael Jackson songs. Holy smokes....that girl cracks me up. She was just what we needed at the end of a very long day. Scott managed to be home for most of the day after his early morning surgery call. We went and watched the fireworks and Chris and his girlfriend and her father met up with us. We had the best seat in town. We went up to the helicopter pad on top of the hospital. What a beautiful night. The fireworks were really good and we didn't have to face the crowd down at the park. It was perfect. Chris reminded me that this may be his last 4th of July celebration for awhile. He may end up in another country for his mission so who knows where he will be next year.
