Just thought this one was fun!

4th of July

The Bailey's invited us out to their house out in the country for the 4th. For those of you who don't know, Bob is Luke's favorite fireman - he is one of the inspectors here in town and is incredibly patient to tell Luke fireman stories. Luke thinks he hung the moon and also thinks it is pretty cool he carries a gun. I figure anyone who is in the "I want to be a fireman/policeman like Mr. Bailey" category is way up there in Luke's book.

Bob did not get to be with us because he was at the big fireworks show downtown, but a lot of his family and Susan's family were there. We grilled hamburgers and the kids played until dark and then we got to see fireworks pretty much all the way around us.

Susan was lamenting the fact that houses had been built around them so you could not see as well, but we thought it was an incredible view and really loved the chance to visit with their family.

Here is a picture of Grace decked out in her festive garb.
