Lighting some fireworks

We got together with the Troutts Saturday night.  It was great to see everyone.  We had a big crowd this year.  Tony and Sue came as well as Bobbi, Brandy and Addison.  It is always nice to have family you do not get to see that often.  Everyone enjoyed hearing about Kristen and Jon's honeymoon and watching the kids play.  The food was wonderful.  Everyone brought a couple of dishes. There were lots of fresh fruits and veggies from cucumber salad, squash casserole and corn-on-the-cob.  Luke stayed entertained with the blow up pool Paula picked up for him.  He loved playing with Addison and Addison seemed to enjoy playing with him, too.

The boys (little and big) had fun with the fireworks.  Jim put on a mini-show at the end of the night.  They did not seem to bother Katherine at all.  She took a little cat nap before they all started.  The kids were up way past their bedtime, but it was worth it!
