We spent the 4th of July at the beautiful country home of our very hospitable friends, Eric and Christine DeHaan. We spent the afternoon swimming, talking and eating (or shall I say "feasting"). At dusk, the kids lit sparklers and received their glow-in-the-dark necklaces, for safety (great idea Darlene)~so we could always see where they were. Once it was dark, after settling into our chairs with LOTS of dessert (Robyn's cobbler, Darlene's cupcakes and Karin's krispy-treats just to name a few) we were treated to a sparkley, noisey feast for our senses! Eric and some of the other guys have concocted some homemade devices that make the legal "works" a bit more show-y and exciting.
