Fourth of July Vacation '08

Grandma Glenn holds Florence and Kiera while we set off fireworks. Kiera's expression is so cute. It took her awhile to get used to all the noise.
We had to get a family picture taken while we had the chance. Ethan however had had enough and let us know it. He was a trooper though for all the other ones.
Kiera gets ready to do her first sparkler with Grandma. She is hesitant but in the end really enjoyed it.
Ethan sits on Grandpa's lap for the firework show. He didn't even flinch. He was a happy little boy the whole time.
We had to get a picture of all the cousins together while they were still in their church clothes. From left to right it is Mary, Timmy, Florence, Kaleb, Ethan and Kiera.
Kiera is flying high and having a great time in Grandma and Grandpa Glenn's backyard.
Kiera and Daddy sit next to the squirrel sculpture at the Oregon zoo.
Now it is mom's turn to sit down.
Mom tries to get the kids ready to take some family photos on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. Ethan cooperates just great.
Now it is the grandparent's turn. Look at all those grandkids! First time all six have been together in one place.
Our Fourth of July was a great one. We spent the weekend at Robert and Shellie Glenn's. We had a great time spending time with Dan's two brothers and their wives and kids. We went to the zoo, set off fireworks, The boys helped their dad install a new ladder for the attic, and we paid a visit to Aunt Beth and Uncle Louis. It was a busy yet fun weekend.
