We had a great 4th of July weekend. We drove to Columbus to spend a few days with Marc, Laura Lee, and Addie. We arrived on Saturday morning, just in time for the parade. Addie was scared of the loud fire trucks, but she was happy with the hand outs she received and clutched to her American flag and Tootsie pops the whole parade.
We then went shopping, and relaxed at their home. Marc made a DELICIOUS salad served with grilled sirloin steak on top. YUM! Later on we went to a Metro Park and secured a pavilion all to ourselves. We played Bochee Ball and lit some fireworks. Then Marc and Laura Lee grilled THE BEST stuffed cheese Turkey Burgers. Some of their friends came by and brought dessert and we enjoyed being with them.
Back home Marc and Tanner lit fireworks while we watched about three set of fireworks in the background. It was a fun show. They used Addie's sand bucket and it melted like a lit wax candle.
We stayed overnight and attended their church together. It's the first time I've been to their church. It was FULL of medical/dental students all with one, two or three children. I was very impressed with the young adults there (especially the dad's who lovingly took care of their children). We had a wonderful salmon dinner together before we left for home. I am so grateful that Marc, Laura Lee and Addie live in Columbus, so we can make create such special memories together.

Wow, it sounds like you guys ate pretty well. I sure to miss the summers in Ohio!
I love the picture of you and Addie with your eyes closed. That is one grandma who loves her granddaughter!
You are looking great. You always did have great legs.
That picture of you and Addie is so precious! How lucky you are to be able to live near enough to be part of her life!
