And what is 4th of July without some fireworks.  Unfortunately, because of the heatwave, Jerry had to work 16 hours a day for the majority of my brother's visit.  He was able to have Friday and Saturday off, so we are thankful for that, but he missed the firework show.  John and Daniel ran around setting off the fireworks. Poor John was drenched in sweat by the end of the evening... it was still 90 F as we sat outside at 9pm. Sheesh!

James and Samuel... little buddies.

Daniel, our pyromaniac!

John setting them off... these are some low shows, but several were beauties in the sky.

I don't think Lucas took his hands off his ears the whole evening.
