Fourth festivities!




Kristi and I surprised ourselves at this year's July fourth when we estimated we had 200 people attend our neighborhood party. It is a whirlwind of craziness for about 3 hours as we try to stay on top of the activities from decorating bikes, to water balloon games while we keep an eye on the chips and salsa and dwindling supplies of frozen custard and try to catch glimpses of our kids enjoying the fun with their friends.

We were lucky to be visited by some fun loving Madison firefighters who turned the hose on and let the kids take turns with the hose and cool off.
John not only filled up hundreds of water balloons but he also made huge bubble wands that were so fun.
Yes, Henry did get interviewed by a local tv crew. They asked him what his favorite part of the day was and he said it was the fireman's hose.

It didn't take either of us long to decide to jump into our pool, clothes and all after we cleaned up the park and headed home to relax.
