Before we left Presley was stung by a bee and it swelled up. Oh, the drama!! A little Benadryl and we were off.
We were invited over to Troy and Alicia's house for a BBQ. We brought these great strawberries, a pasta salad, hamburgers, and stuff for strawberry shortcakes.
Presley, Ry and Harper love to play with the Smith girls, Elsie and Ava. They played in the back yard, up in their room, and outside riding bikes and scooters. Dave, Troy, Kevin, and Logan played a game of wiffle ball. Dave and Logan each got home runs.
All the kids at the party...

It was finally dark enough to start fireworks. About that time, the wind picked up and Troy, Kevin, and Dave had trouble getting them lit.
Finally, they were able to light sparklers. Everybody loved them.
We did lots and lots of fireworks. Dave lit them one by one. You can tell by the pictures that it continued to be windy throughout our fireworks show. We had so many and it was getting pretty cold towards the end. Alicia brought out lots of blankets for the kids.
Kevin, Troy, and Dave have been friends for many, many years (probably 25-30 years). These three went on a senior trip to Disneyland together where the wiffle ball games became legendary. Kevin and his wife Kate and their two kids, Lauren and Sam (they weren't here tonight) are moving later this month back to her home state of Minnesota.
I am so thankful to live in the land of the free!!
