4th of July

This year, for the 4th, Travis's sister, Denise, and her husband, Doug, along with their 4 kids were in town from North Carolina. Instead of them having to go to 3 different houses to visit parents and step-parents, we had everyone at our house. All together, I think we had 21 or 22 people here, and it wasn't too crazy. ALSO, SAGE got something very special--a new playground! This was SUCH a blessing. Chrissie had been searching for one for her kids and found one in the paper that was being GIVEN away to anyone that would come and get it. This turned out to be no small task. Unfortunately, for her, it was way too huge to go in her backyard. Thankfully, she told the lady that she still wanted it (there were 8 people behind her that wanted it), and Travis and Sean went and took it apart in 2 days to transport it to OUR house. Travis is going to pressure wash it and stain it, and it will look good as new. This would have cost us 3 or 4 grand to build! The kids had a blast between that and the pool.
