Happy 4th of July!

[Tom]

Wishing y'all a happy 4th of July. This is year 26 for Chris and myself in the land of opportunity; We savor every year we've lived here and appreciate all the great friends we've made in our "new land".

Our kids are all grown and three of them have created their own lives in Calfornia and Kentucky, while the other two prefer to call sunny South Wales home.

This weekend was a quiet/fun time at home with daughter, SIL, grandson and their brother/SIL all visiting. A few photos from the weekend:

• Chris (my other half, aka Gramma) taking the girls to breakfast at a nearby marina.
• Ryan, our grandson, is so thrilled with the boat ride that he falls asleep.
• The boys enjoy kayaking.
• Ryan decides it's time to vacuum the family room.
• Sunset this evening - shot from our deck. (Still experimenting with my camera.)

This is a welcome change from our annual ritual among the crazies on the water for the 4th.

Great pictures, Tom!

Many of us were getting a bit "mature" for the Mandeville celebration, I think.

Hope you have a great Independence Day celebration with the family tomorrow.

Al & Judy

Thanks Al. Yes, Mandeville was getting a bit old and I was glad that Chris decided to skip it this year. Hope you both have a good one in Vegas.

Hey Chris!,

What are you looking at in that fourth picture????  DOL!

 

[Tom]

LOL Karl, I'll pass that along. Chris doesn't follow the forum.

While the girls went to brunch by dinghy, the guys followed along in the bass boat skippered by yours truly. Here's a photo of the guys snapped by one one of the girls.

Tom,

Good thing that boat has a lot of freeboard ;D ;D ;D
