The Fourth of July

After spending two nights away from us, Miss Social Bug returned to us Wednesday morning as we drove up to Jefferson. We did what we did a few years ago: rent a clubhouse for a few hours, hang out, and grill lunch. This time, we celebrated Uncle Jason's father-in-law's birthday, so there were more unfamiliar faces. All the in-state Cunningham clan was there, including a few out-0f-towners.


Lunch was delicious with the usual grill food, lots of fruit, chips, and plenty of desserts to choose from. The Cunningham clan stuck together pretty much while the Pass clan stuck together. There were several conversations among the adults, especially between Dad and Great- aunt Lor Cunningham, who usually find something to talk about during family gatherings. The kids ran around the playground or around the baseball fields, doing one of the either. The kids loved the merry-go-round. They loved it so much that they started looking dizzy after riding it over a hundred times. Mandy looked like she was about to pass out, and Cousin Rivers looked like she was about to lose her lunch. Thankfully, nothing bad happened. The boys played baseball, and the girls and a few adults joined them later on. Mandy and Seth were wearing sandals on the field and had red, dusty feet and legs when we left. About three o'clock, we left for home and watched "Dr. Zhivago" for three long hours. It is accurate in its portrayal of the Bolsheviks and reminded me of "1984."

Well, I'll add pics soon. I haven't downloaded them yet, and I'm slow at placing my pics on the computer.
