Road trip: Independence Day Potluck

On the 4th of July we got together both sides of the family.  There have been several new additions to our family over the past year, so it was especially exciting to get everyone all together in one place!







My two youngest brothers, Christopher and Joel (19 & 17).  I wanted to say they're my two littlest brothers, but.....actually I'm pretty sure we must have been standing on uneven ground.  Because in real life, I'm pretty sure I don't clear Joel's shoulder.


Grace & Nick

Jonathan & Allison.....VERY SERIOUS


Joy's face is killing me here (I feel like this could be a Norman Rockwell painting)


There goes trouble....literally




And of course, we had our own personal fireworks show:








For all pics of this day, here's the Flickr set.
