Yesterday, July 4, we drove two hours to visit Sylvia’s sister, Karen and her family.  Her two sons and their families were there from Colorado and Virginia.  The in-laws and the outlaws were all there.  It was good to see everyone again.  Especially the children (Karen’s grandchildren).

Cute baby.  Right?  But wait (as they say in the commercials) there’s more.

That’s right! Twins. Oh what fun.

Perpetual motion on the twins’ part made photography difficult.  The boys are 7 months old.  Pity poor mom when they are two and three years old.

The younger brother was also there with family.

Too soon, it seemed, it was time to leave for home.  Sylvia’s dad joined us as we headed south.  A couple of hours later, it was home to a house that was nearly 90 degrees inside.  I turned on the AC (first time this year) and shortly after, Sylvia took her dad home–a 90-minute round trip.

It was nearly 9 PM when Sylvia returned home.  She had stopped and picked up a deli sandwich, which we thoroughly enjoyed.  An hour later the fireworks started.  I’ll tell you about that tomorrow.
