Jerry flew back in from Beaumont late on Thursday evening so we could all be together to celebrate the 4th. Friday we wrapped up our week with Mee-Maw and Pee-Paw and then Saturday we spent time with Granny and Big Daddy. We looked through some old pictures and helped do some things around the house. Caleb and Blake got to crawl under their house to retrieve a cable. Granny told him about when she was a kid and had to retrieve potatoes from under her house. Blake thought that was interesting! The boys got to feed the ducks and look through Big Daddy’s “old” stuff in his Greenville room. Big Daddy gave Caleb some old Mexican coins and Blake some rock book ends. They were thrilled! It was a good day.
That evening, we headed to the Chreene’s for a 4th of July celebration with Leslie, the Eakins, and the Dawsons. Larry grilled and the kids played. It was low key and relaxing. Everyone left out before dark except us. Jerry and Larry went and bought some fireworks for the boys to shoot off. Now that was an adventure! Just imagine 8 boys and fireworks! It is a dangerous combo, but everyone lived through it...barely!
The next morning, we were off to Beaumont. It was hard to leave. I never guessed it would be so hard to come home and not get to spend time with all the people we wanted to see. We went 90 to nothing the whole time and still didn’t get to see all of our friends. I guess that is how it will be. I hated to leave the place where all our relationships are rooted.
