4th of July fun at the Bakers

Jeff and I got to watch the last game of our Grandsons tournament on the evening of July 3rd.  He has grown to be a very good Baseball player. His # was 10 and he proved to be a #10 with his good hits, throws and catching.  The game was very interesting and high scoring.    

 Here he is catching at his best.  He has played this catching position for years now and dose a great job.  Below you can see the spectators cheering him on.  We all enjoyed the close game even if they did loose by one score.  I believe the final score was 8 to 9.  

 The two younger girls entertained themselves with catching lightning bugs and sitting in the tall grass.

 4th of July          LET THE PARADE BEGIN!   

 I thought these two critters were very cute so just had to share the picture.   The parade lasted a good hour and I could not believe all the candy that was thrown out for the children.  OK, so maybe, just maybe I got a piece or two for myself.

 The fireworks started early afternoon with pink smoke sticks, firecrackers, snappers, and parachutes.

 My husband on the other hand found his own fireworks.  That was some very potent moon shine with the blackberries still in the bottom of the jar. 

Our grandson lighting some pretty wild rockets.  

One had us all jumping as it came towards the house.

 Our beautiful oldest granddaughter looking so very innocent with these fireworks.

 Just a litle Jam on the front porch.  Theres never too much music.

 Our 2 youngest grandchildren having fun with some gentle very cute fireworks.  This little ship was very cute and did some interesting stuff.  We all enjoyed it.

 OH NO,  Miss innocent!   I sure wonder who lite the pink smoke bomb in the mail box?  It was surprising how long that bright pink smoke oozed out of the mail box.

 Our youngest granddaughter wasn't so sure about these fire shooting sparklers.  "Is this really supposed to be fun?"

 Jeff and I with our Grandchildren from NE.  What a fun time we had with this beautiful family.

 THE GRAND FINALE!                     THERE IT GOES, THE "N"  LANTERN.
A fun way to celebrate the Freedom and independence of our beloved country.
  GOD BLESS AMERICA
