Home again and the 4th of July!

The made it home safe on Saturday and it was really nice to see them again.  Everything rolled into the 4th of July celebration with Denise's traditional BBQ ribs, dessert and the California City fire works show.  We hand an outstanding meal and a pretty darn good fireworks show.  I think we are always impressed with the quality of the fireworks that California City puts on.

After having a few weeks of quite time it was really neat to have all the commotion of the kids back in the house.  It is really funny how it seems like they have never been gone and been gone forever all at the same time!

So Nana and Max will head back home tomorrow.  It's really too bad that we can't visit more but that darn work things seems to always get in the way.

After that, mid next week Denise and the kids will head on the next part of summer vacation where they travel to Oklahoma to visit family!  Unfortunately I have to stay here but at least this is going to give them a longer trip instead of the typical two week.  I really wish I was going but oh well...
