4th of July Fun!

We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th. Karli and I had a blast. We started our weekend Thursday night with our friend Fenton and his family. And wouldn't you know, Karli (33 weeks and counting) was out in the middle of the street lighting off fireworks.
Friday morning we went to Karli's parents, where we ate a great brunch. Nice job Trix. Shot off a few parachutes, they were actually pretty impressive, then headed home for mama to rest for the big night. That night we traveled to our traditional spot, the homestead of one Jeff O'Gorman. It is here where Karli finds the joy and excitement she so craves on the 4th. This is Karli's favorite holiday, and I mean her very favorite, so we usually have a good time. This year we had some excellent fireworks. Our host and his partner in crime supplied a great show, as usual.


Saturday we went Schuyler, NE. Karli's family owns a cabin on a sandpit lake off the Platte River. We spent the day swimming and fishing, with friends and family. For the first time we were glad not to spend the night. It was a long and tiring weekend, we looked forward to our own bed. We heard fireworks for the 4th were not so good in other places so we wanted to post some of our firework pictures and videos.
