July 4th

 We had a pretty low-key 4th around here, attending a fantastic barbecue at Kim and Jason's place down the road. It was too hot to remember to take pictures, but I did get some fun shots at the guys' show later that night:

Clockwise from top: Chris; "Ward Hayden and Trapdoor Trout"- the name they use when they play only covers; Kim and Jason- Kim's a fantastic cook and Jason's a fantastic fiddle player; Me!

Clockwise from top: Krystal- her fiery hair matches her fiery personality; Ward and Josh discussing the set list; the ferocious Josh Kigglesbear; Paul- recently got his black belt in some form of martial arts.... I forget which.

We didn't get to see the fireworks in real life- the guys finished playing right during the finale, but it was raining anyways, so I'm not too bummed. There's always next year when Avery and Chris visit!
