We had a fabulous 4th of July week!! Christina's parents and sister Ginger drove down from Oregon for a surprise visit. We had a great time swimming, eating good food, and setting off fireworks.




Of course all the girls loved to play with Mike. He's the coolest!

The kids also had fun playing chicken. Though they worked hard to beat one another, Mike and Jana got the grunt end of beating. :-)

What cute parents we have!

We definitely needed that swim because in the morning we went with Mike's parents to Thanksgiving Point's magnificent gardens.

Cheri was smart and she rented a Segway to make the long walk easier on her, and as you can see Teri and Mike loved it too! Christina didn't enjoy the whole moving and balancing thing.

The gardens truly were beautiful. Here are a few of our favorite shots. To look at all the pictures click on the web album link on the right and look in the July 07 album.

We also were able to have a lot of Christina's family come up to the cabin. We had a fabulous dinner of chicken kabobs, fruit salad, and corn on the cob. It was really fun to show off the cabin and have a party up there. We all had a blast!!!
