Girls to Barn

I wish I could say that Brenda and I did more than hang out around home and watch fireworks for the 4th of July (the lawn is cut), but at least our family was doing the right thing in marking memories for Newspaperour nation’s Semiquincentenial. 

Waiting for Fireworks

Besides the Oostra family checking out the fireworks and in-town celebration, the checked out a fantastic barn painted up with the US Flag and Mt Rushmore portraits. Very patriotic.

They also enjoy some time at the Cedar Point Water Park and made a quick stop to check out my brother Ron and his wife Claire’s new Lake Erie house — the one on the property we grew up on as kids (my parents would be so pleased). Fantastic memories as I’ve mentioned before.

Waiting for fireworks and bandNot to be outdone, Taylor and Megan took in a tribute band concert and enjoyed the VERY hot Cincinnati evening. They had a really good time, at least that is my read from Megan’s text messages!
