Indepenence Day

The holiday is always long in Wauconda. The village fire works are on the 3rd at the lake. It is a very good display. We sit on the sidewalk in front of our neighbor and look down the street to see the fire works over the street. The mosquitoes are usually bad so we always wear heavy slacks and a jacket. We don't get bit but we sweat up a storm.

Not this year! It was very cool and we were all around comfortable. We were already for the fourth. No big effort on salads and dishes to prepare.



Logan arrived on the Fourth so happy she could bite herself. Would you believe gum herself. She was a little doll in her red checked seersucker outfit. Her folks are so in love with her.


While everyone snacked Delores held Logan. They were both able to smile.


Harvey held Cora without a problem. Though she did give him the once over occasionally.
In the background you can see that Sarah was actually able to use both hands while snacking. New moms don't often have both hands free.


Then we were lining up everyone to get pictures of everyone with everyone. Four generations would have been good. Sally (Grandma), Ann (Great Aunt), Harvey (Great Grandfather) and Logan and Cora. Then the wheels came off before we could get the big kids (Ashley and Alex) into the picture. And certainly not the aunts and uncles.

Apparently Big Grandpa pinches the Girls and makes them cry just as Georgie Porgy does. Cora decided she had been put upon one time too many.
Every one pass the babies!


Big Grandpa sang "Oops, I did it again." There goes Logan!
