My Fourth of July

Saturday my family spend the day at our friends, grandma's house. They have a small lake, where the kids rode in boats and had a good time, even though it was cold and windy out.

I made a banana cake with banana frosting to share with everyone. I also made some American flags to add to it.

The "red" turned out more like pink, and the blue wasn't as dark as I was hoping. Oh, well.

Tiana, Alina, and Danielle in the paddle boat.

The beautiful pond in the backyard.

Daniel, already to go out in the boat.

Alina and Danielle rowed over to the island.


And of course, my dad brought his RC stuff. Here is is radio controlled jet ski.

Playing Apples to Apples.


Playing baseball, with a ketchup bottle as a bat, and a plastic lid for a ball.

Kelsey, Me, and Cristina.



Fireworks! We had quite a bit of them...

And last, but not least, FIREWORKS! :D

  4. Thanks, girls!

    Maggie: Since I wasn't using a tripod, I put the shutter speed fairly high (I believe I had it on 60). They were not the clearest if you enlarged them, but they turned out pretty well.
