Fireworks and Goodbye

After all the festivities of the day, this was a grand daddy of them all. My parents bought a set of fireworks and the kids sat on the porch while the dads became like scouts again and got in touch with their pyro side. Some of the little ones were more worried than others, but everyone enjoyed the fireworks.

Yes it was a little cold. The kids wrapped up in blankets and jackets in their jammies to stay warm.

When it came time to say goodbye the next day, Abigail's little heart was torn out. She hated to say goodbye to her cousins. It was really great to everyone. We love you all and happy 4th.

As a side note, when we arrived home we had a surprise waiting for us. A message on the phone saying that the Stake President wanted to meet with us. Yikes!! Turned out that they wanted to issue a call to my husband to be the new executive secretary. He is going to really miss the Young Men, but he accepted the new calling and is excited for the challenge it will be.
