Fresh from scratch shortcakes just out of the oven and ready to go in...YUM!
Different size life jackets hung on the line ready for anyone boating or the little ones swimming in the pond...I call this picture "SUMMER COLORS"
Floats lined up and ready to enter the water!
Bob washing up at the new pump...we have no running water so all the water is pumped from the well for use on the island.
Taylor and Alexis swimming in the pond...they jumped in the water when they got here and rarely got out of the water...these kids are little water bugs!
Cousins fishing for sunfish...
The newest family member...Olivia with Aunt Whitney
Family enjoying a summer meal
Lots of talk and good times being shared
Emily found a comfortable spot to take a little nap...she climbed up onto the dressing room bench and covered up with a towel when she got tired...Smart Kid!
Once the bonfire got going everyone got in position for the fireworks show! We had our own show with over seventy different shots and then a grand finale that was the best ever...the show was put on by the men in the family organized and lead by Ray.
The show goes on with patriotic music and songs playing...
Getting ready for another round of sky high explosives....
After our show the Pond Association put on a fireworks show that was fabulous...we all turned our chairs around and watched another 20 minutes of some of the most beautiful fireworks we have ever seen...enhanced by our flagpole and torches blazing....
What a wonderful day and evening we had...good food, good times and good company...this is exactly the way a family should celebrated our country's independence...we are blessed to all be together to do it just this way...
Cousins fishing for sunfish...Randy the experienced fisherman supervising his sister and cousin....
