4th of July

Jeff and the kids enjoyed the 4th of July with a party at a friends house. Where was I, you ask? I was frantically driving all over town looking for a lost dog. That's right. I am dog sitting, Bella and she ran away. She ran like the dickens! Ran so fast that I lost sight of her within 5 seconds. Lost. Lost for 5 1/2 hours. I made several calls to the Humane Society, no luck. Finally, Sunday morning I tracked her down. 3 teenage girls returned her home (to another neighbors) Sweet child, we are so thankful to the girl who went out of her way to catch, hold and return Bella!

I did however, manage to ask Jeff to capture the evening through photos. I was able to enjoy a few fireworks with the group. Boy, do the children (and men) love lighting fireworks! I don't quite understand the fascination. But,I do love the laughter, smiles and excitement of it all. 4th of July is a crazy holiday here in Omaha. Very festive and fun. I am thankful to the Fentons for hosting a fantastic night...thanks again.

Everybody loves a pinata. Ellie was the one who finally whacked it hard enough to burst it open.

Yeah, more candy.
Here's to one tired little boy...he had his fill of fun- running and playing with fire!!!!(Yikes) Look at all those fireworks...I shutter to think of all the money spent on this years display.

Until, next year.
