We got to the fireworks celebration early to get a parking place. When we got there we saw that a nearby church was having a fun day and so we walked over there to get in on the fun. The kids all loved it.


Nathan and Jordan. This was hilarious.


The game-plan. 8-)

Jada (red) - she didn't seem to mind at all that this kid was 2 times her size. Yikes.



After the fun at the church, it was time for fireworks. They were beautiful.




All-American Girl by Carrie Underwood came on and so Jada and Daddy had a moment. Sniff, Sniff.



We simply could not be more proud of our husbands. They were the trombone and cymbal section for the McAllen Fireworks this year. They did a fabulous job. And they look so cool while doing it.


Actually, I guess they have several "sections" that they were part of. Melodie and I were so glad it was dark and that only a few people could see us.

As a side note: I am well aware of how frustrating it is to live in a country where bad choices are being made for us and how it seems like we have no say in what is going on and all of that... However, when you start to get too down on the US, you come stay here where I am for a month. It will make you eternally grateful for the great United States of America. (....okay...off of my soapbox) Hope you all had a great 4th of July.

  2. Soooo glad you got to see the fireworks. We enjoyed them at Long's park close to where we were in Pa. Great time. We had a picnic on the lawn then went back to the motel.
    Love you all and miss you like crazy.
    Praying much for you all (including M&M and family)
