We got together with our Hall side of the family next door for the fourth. We went swimming in their pool and had BBQ shrimp, salmon, shishkabobs, and chicken. It was very good. Later we drove to the AZ Army National Guard and sat in the parking lot near the Chandler Airport and watched the fireworks. It was soooo hot! Kris turned off the car and so we sat for almost an hour in humid heat. (Probably 98 degrees that night.) Our clothing was drenched with sweat by the time we left to go home. But it is always great to sit and reflect on the miracles and perseverance of our founding fathers and all the great things they helped bring to pass. It would be nice if it were still the same.
Below are some pics of our evening out watching fireworks. We went in our van and Mike drove his Pathfinder filled with Kimberlee (his wife), Alyssa & Maddie (their kids), and Grandpa Hall. Unfortunately Nanna Hall couldn't come, she had to work that night.
