Fourth of July 2011

The entire Jackson crew came to the river for the fourth, minus Jackson who was at Boy Scout Camp. (He was dearly missed.) Fireworks were definitely the highlight of the day. The little boys didn't even wait for dark. James Hogg invited us to watch their show, which was spectacular. We took the pontoon boat over and joined several other boats, watching a fabulous display while listening to the soulful

tunes of Marvin Gaye. Back at our place the nephews put on a show, and then Catherine (C-Woww) shot her party pack.

Earlier we had enjoyed Big Daddy's burgers and hotdogs and Nanny Boo's baked beans, along with a variety of chips, dips, and desserts. We had a very special fourth and enjoyed our time together. Hopefully, we will continue this tradition for many years.

P.S. Before Jackson left, we made the annual 4th of July picture. John David does not have a goatee; that's his stitches. (Please refer to the Harbor Island post.)
