July 4th

We went to Nebraska to celebrate the 4th of July and what a fun time it was. Family, good food, dancing, fireworks, etc. Ava was ok with the smaller fireworks. She loved the snaps and the sparklers. After each sparkler went out she said, "can I have some more??" She was terrified of the bigger fireworks though. Uncle Rich had to drive her around the block to watch them from the car.

Grandma D and Kate.  We were glad Kate was feeling well enough to attend the festivities.  She had surgery last week to remove salivary cancer.
