More 3rd of July

We knew that we were going to have our Montana friends "the Jorgensens" over for the evening. We were also going to go the next morning to Virginia City, MT for the real 4th. So we went to the grocery store and stocked up on some steaks and chicken for kabobs, and a bunch of fruit and a few veggies. Finger food. Perfect for a small get together. My BF Leslie's husband is always gone for the 4th so I invited her to come out as well. She had her mom and dad with her and a few of her children. Jeff, Brianna (who just left on a mission to New Mexico) and Brittany. Brittany isn't really her child but should be. Anywho we all got together and the Jorgensen's brought illegal Montana fireworks for our own little show. It was so fun. It was a little cool for July so we brought out the jackets and blankets and had a real swell time. The sunset was beautiful as you can see from the picture. Keller "Potter" who had already lost one wand earlier that day had been flying on his broom around the yard, when he decided to put his "good" wand and really the only wand he had left in his back pocket so he could go through the grain better. We were sitting on the porch when all of the sudden I hear a blood curdling scream. "My wand, my wand, Ive lost my wand!!!" in the grain of all places. If anyone has ever been in a grain field you know its not easy to find something that you have dropped. I was dreading this sad little moment. But thanks to Kiri and her son Ben she directed Keller and Ben to the right spot and he FOUND his wand. Which really was a good thing because they were casting all sorts of spells and we had some of the most amazing fireworks this side of Rigby! Here are some pics from that evening. It really was a fun holiday!
