Happy 4th of July 2012.

Fireworks at the club were great again this year.

We had a crew there this year.

Ryan, Michelle, Summer, little David, Laura, and Alex

(and the entire community behind them)

Yes, I was there too taking the pictures and recording another family moment together.

Here is a brief video of the fireworks (just in case you could not make it).

The post fireworks party was also a lot of fun.

The kitchen is a great (and classic) place for family and friends to just sit and talk (and eat).

Thanks Laura, Michelle, Ryan, and Alex for a great time together.

The weight of the world was upon us as we discussed the craziness around us (while protected by the inner sanctum of our kitchen and our life).  

David like usual is negotiating just how long he can stay up with us.  He loves hanging out with adults.

But he loves his ice cream even more.  He deserves it - his way of celebrating along with the fireworks of course.

Good night everyone and Happy 4th!
