We had a nice long weekend this year. Dad, Dan, and Joe joined us over the weekend from Saturday until Monday, and Dick and Jill had their pool party on Tuesday, the 4th. The fireworks were awesome, as usual. Here's the link to a video on David's FB page.
Here we are, soaking up whatever rays can make it through the reflection of the pool into the gazebo. This was a little over a week past David's heart attack. The weight loss was one nice benefit. Diane's smile is infectious.

Dad soaked up a little sun on the big swan. I hope that's me when I'm 86.

This was the family just before dinner together on Sunday night at the Marietta Fish Market. L-R: David, Diane, Chuck, Don, Leslie, Beth, Dan, Richard, Jill, Dad, Joe.

On the 4th, the gazebo was packed, with Richard's big egg (L) producing some fine BBQ beef, pork, and turkey for everybody. There were two long tables of food on the right and plenty of places to snack and catch up.

Nice lazy afternoon by the pool.

They was throwin' the sack near the deep end.

I got a cool picture of Chuck here. The water plant seems to be reaching out to his face.

Leslie is shown here setting up for beer pong.

Beer pong in full swing. Amy and Niki vs Leslie and Chuck. I actually did capture the ball in mid air, but it looked more like a white cloud than a ping pong ball. Thanks, Photoshop, for a better solution.

Just had to include a shot from the garden by the pool. The flowers were so beautiful.

Leslie's friend Reem and her husband Khaled flew in from Qatar. It was great to have them with us.

This is George. He has the right idea. Red white and blue shutter shades.
