july 4th

We arrived in PA on July 3rd and celebrated the 4th with the family. Being the 4th, we lit some fireworks..
We also rode on the golf cart -- a LOT!  The MOST fun was when we let them stand on the back where the golf bags are supposed to ride.  These two monkeys yelled FASTER FASTER FASTER!
We spent some time in the brook looking for crayfish (or "crick", if you speak Pennsylvania-ese)
 Savannah found this one, which was full of eggs!  None of us had ever seen that before!
 Daddy gave her a lesson in "how to pick up a crayfish without getting pinched" - she got it!
 Gage, however, stayed with the baby crayfish, he was not interested in the prospect of getting pinched by those claws!
 We had a water balloon fight..
 
 And, we drove in Uncle Eric's prowler.  Gage, I feel the same way about getting into a vehicle that Daddy is driving sometimes, buddy!!
 We lit a lot of sparklers...until Savannah got her first burn, that is!
 
 Uncle Eric and Aunt Tammy were in charge of the fireworks...Savannah was "the runner" delivering them to Daddy
 We lit some black snakes, which Grandpa will forever remember because of the black marks all over his landscaping timbers!
 We had staring contests with Uncle Eric, who can keep his eyes open without blinking for a freakishly long time!
 And as night fell, Adam decided to pose like the Statue of Liberty :-)
