Sidney Fireworks Show

 

 

The Gull family invited a bunch of ward members over to their home for a BBQ and to watch the city fireworks. Sidney usually holds it's firework show the day before the 4th so the firefighters are free to celebrate (and put out potential fires the citizens start?). We had a very enjoyable time eating, chatting, and watching the kids play. I was finally able to get to know Sister Peters a little better. She and her husband work on the church ranch working cattle. She was very interested in my square foot garden! I harvested my first beets and peas this week. The chard and spinach are almost done! The tomatoes and beans are close to harvest season too. Yum! Phillip entertained us with his silly antics. One lady called him Helen Keller because he was going around eating food off plates folks had left laying around once dinner was over. Pretty accurate (and embarrassing). He loved feeding the Gull's dog and spent many moments mimicking the dog. Amelia was very busy playing and running with all the kids. We hardly saw her until it started to get dark. I felt very proud to be an American watching my kids waving flags during the firework show. The photo above is actually a composite of 8 different photos. Our sky was not THAT cool. Everett is usually pretty fussy in the evenings. Justin and I took turns walking around with him until he calmed down after his hour of cry time.
