Pics from July 4th

A little late, but better late than never. We enjoyed a fun 4th of July. We were invited to join the Neis family for their annual 4th of July bash. It was a great time. My friend Preston, and his parents joined us for the festivities. We enjoyed lots of great food, drinks, endless fireworks and lots of great socializing. Thanks Kelly and family for the good time.

Kelly bought a pinata for the kids. She got the party started and gave lessons on the proper way of demolishing the pinata.

Manning took some good swings at it.

Doug helped Alexus take some good shots at it. At first all of the kids were so gentle with it. The adults were encouraging them to be more aggressive. Then they started to get the hang of it. The hits got harder.

The crowd began to gather.

The Ediger family.

Dad and I having fun and sharing some good laughs.

The dads in "awe" of the explosions taking place up in the sky.

My buddy Preston found some candy he REALLY liked.

Kathy and Alexus watching the fireworks and enjoying some candy from the pinata.

Jason and I hanging out. You can barely see us through all of the smoke from fireworks.
