A fun 4th of July weekend!

The Vrbas' had a GREAT holiday weekend!


Here's Joe, Peytie & G-pa Matt having some fun Thursday nite.
(Snakes, snap-pops & ground flowers.)





Joe put a few bigger ones off that nite once it got dark. Peytie didn't have a nap (which is beginning to be pretty typical lately) so she didn't last long enough to see the rest of them. That, and G-ma 'Laine's lap is pretty comfy.



THE FOURTH!!
We packed up & headed to Culbertson for the evening. The Vrbas' have an annual get-together at G-ma Mary Lou's and it's always a blast! We always have a BBQ and just hang out until the big fairground fireworks show. This year's show was really good because it was their 20th yr and they were given extra donations for even MORE fireworks than usual! It was awesome!! (I would've taken some pics of the show but my camera doesn't work real well at nite. Still trying to figure those things out...)

Here are several pics from the night.


G-pa & Peytie (Happy 50th dad - we love you!)

Watchin' the show...

Tori bein' cheesy! (Love this pic!)


This is just funny to me. Check out the 2 sets of chicken legs on the left. Can you tell they're brothers?! Kinda' uncanny really...

Mr. Jackles - hopped up on soda! ;o) Thank goodness it was caffeine free!

Peytie - still not so sure about the sparklers. (When it comes to fireworks, you really can't tell she's her father's child. It's weird.)



She held it for about 4 seconds and then turned around in a panic asking someone to please take it from her before it burned her. Come to think of it, her mama never really cared for sparklers either... What a cutie, isn't she?!
