4th of July, Lauri's House Style

This year Tami and family, Derrek and family, and Dad and I met at Lauri's house for the 4th of July. The Grands "swam" in the hot tub, we ate a lot, visited a lot, and watched some old super 8 movies that we had converted to DVD from about 1978 (Tami's birth) to 1982 (Dallon's birth). Gosh! We have such cute kids! The day ended with the traditional lawn chair set-up on the drive-way to watch the city fireworks over the neighbor's roof.
For about 20 years the Williams family always met in Well, Nevada, at Grandma Williams' house for the 4th. The earlier years we met at the city park and then we met in Grandma and Grandpa's back yard after they bought their house. One of the highlights was Grandma Williams' fried chicken. It was a great time for all of Rowland's family to get together and for the cousins to get to know each other. About 5 years ago we quit getting together in Wells, so we had to see had happened in BC over the 4th and start some new traditions.
