Hope your Fathers had a good one yesterday!

Zealand with Uncle Ryan

We spent Saturday afternoon with my family and Sunday with Cam's. Cam got BBQ tools from us and a big list of suggestions from the kids of what he could do with each of them on their own.

I really love how these photos turned out. I experimented a bit and these were the best of the bunch. I wasn't even going to stay at my parents' house for fireworks because I didn't want to go home late, but when I came out with a load for the van, my dad and brother, Ryan, had already given Bryce a sparkler and he was loving it!
The grandkids and my sis-in-law, Nina, waiting for the parachute from the fireworks to land.

The matching jammies? My mom made them and the kids crawled all over the place barking and growling and acting like little puppies. It was pretty cute!

By the way, the house here is where I lived during the second half of my childhood. It's been in the family since it was built, I believe.

This is my little brother, Ryan and his sweet wife, Nina. Ryan is hitting the big 3-0 in two months and I will finally have a sibling joining me in the dreaded 30s.

Happy Birthday, old man!

We love you!
