The second part of the day was spent in Bel Aire. Andrew invited his friend, Cole, over to help him do some vegetation control. Michelle (Sara's sister) had some apple trees that needed thinning so the kids spent most of the afternoon making Black Cat Applesauce.
Sara's dad, John, wore the same shirt he wears every July 4th. I had to get a picture of him wearing it. I think it's pretty festive, and it even has part of his last name on it.
Sara's niece, Leah, brought her boyfriend, Tony, home to spend the weekend, as well as their new dog, Beasley, named for K-State's Michael Beasley. Everyone liked him...and we thought Tony was pretty cool, too.
Amber got to really experience fireworks this year. We ventured out on a limb and, under VERY CLOSE SUPERVISION, let her light some firecrackers. She did very good and was very safe for the most part, outside of this picture of her running away from a lit firecracker with a hot punk near her face. But, overall, I was impressed with how much care she took with things.
Andrew and his cousins and his friend enjoyed making the Black Cat Applesauce.
It was pretty warm during the afternoon, so everyone came inside to relax, cool off, and listen to Sara's mom play the piano. Alex - our nephew from Oklahoma, Alyssa - our niece who just graduated from Notre Dame, sit behind Amber, who somehow got VIP seating. The video below shows Margie entertaining the rest of us while we cooled off and prepared for the evening extravaganza.
