Ka-boom-pow!

We went to the fireworks on Saturday night with Memere, Poppy, and Aunt Dithy. Memere and Poppy's friends, Robert and Donna, met us out there too. Donna babysat for me when I was really little. She is the only person in the world that can call me Jenny and get away with it :) We also ran into our friends, the Hixson's. Kelly used to work with Aunt Erin at Durant and has a son Brett's age and the cutest little girl you've ever seen. A little later, our friends, the Jong's, found us and joined us while we all waited for the fireworks. James used to work with Todd... well they both still work at IBM, but not really with each other. They have 2 daughters, one is almost 5 and the other is just a couple months younger than Kate. It was nice that the kids all got to play together. I'm pretty sure that Kate talked James's ear off though!

Brett played soccer with Chase (Aunt Erin's former co-worker's son who happened to be out there too)

Brett and Daddy - I think was the fifth take of this picture!

Brett and Kate are budding photographers... they love to take pictures with any camera they can get their little hands on!

The fireworks were LAME this year at Brier Creek, but the kids didn't know any better. Brett kept ducking behind Todd's chair, hiding from the fireworks!
