Sparkler Time




Waiting to watch the fireworks

Because we live on a hill and you can see the city and the fireworks for a distance and because we love to have people over we decided to have a get together at our place. The weather was a little bit questionable and I started to get upset about it but then I got the idea to move the tables to the garage. The rain held off and from about 4pm on we had about 53 people at our house. Some came and went and some stayed the whole time. Most of those that came were from our church. We have some pastor friends that live in Panora, Kelly and Krista, and they came and visited for a while. My cousin Sigrid and Tony were also passing through DM on their way to PA so they stayed for the day too. It was a great time of fellowship and food. Towards evening the kids had sparklers (all other fireworks are illegal here). We gathered on top of the lawn about 9pm and watched them going off all over the city. So thankful the Lord blessed us with such a beautiful view and a wonderful house to be able to do this!!
