A few of the men finishing up on building a dock/raft on the pond.
An action-packed soccer game before lunch
There were some big machines sitting near the pond and Phi had some fun playing around them (with supervision, of course!) :) 
Phi in the canoe

Big digger!
Matthew and Phi "driving" the tractor

Someone forgot to pack along paddles, so they used anything they could find - wood, flippers... :)

Look at that form! :)

In the evening, we ended up inviting everyone to our house, and shot off fireworks in the culdesac. The guys bought a ton of fireworks and put on a great show!!!
Mom and Sus watching the show
I set up my tripod and chose about a 4 second shuter speed for most of these, to get the long trails of light.
I think this is one of my favorites. :)
This one is really out of focus, but Matthew and Em really liked it, so I put it up anyways! :)
Phi hated the loud noises and cried everytime they shot off the loud fireworks. :( He was tired, too, so Sarah took him in and let him sleep.
Necks craned, looking up at the fireworks - left to right - William, Mom, Emily, Kevin
The guys would all set up their fireworks and light off a bunch at the same time. Here's Thad:
And Dave, just about to run back from the lit fireworks.
Dallas was able to make it back from the ER for the fireworks show.
Eeeekkk! There's ghosts! ;)
And another scary sight - Emily with fireworks and a lighter! :)
Shooting off some roman candles
A creative shot with sparklers. :)
Can you guess who wrote this? ;)
And a parting fireworks shot. Hope you enjoyed the show!! ;)
