| To celebrate our nation's independence, we did
the traditional American thing: a cookout and fireworks. Only we did
it twice!
We spent the weekend with my parents in Westville, then attended the
annual GHK cookout at Charles Hefner's "Three Wild Turkeys"
ranch.

This was Tuesday the 4th outside of Guthrie.
We got a big rain that morning, pretty much the only rain we've had this
summer! |
 |
 |
Here we get a demonstration of the hammock in action.
(Or would that be in-action?) |

Chinese girl who just finished her Masters at Harvard and is
going back to China. |

Eric, slaying the fish from his little kayak. If the fish was
any
bigger it might have pulled him off of there! |
Charles and Ted had some explosives they used
to blow up an old shed. You ignite them by shooting
them. It sounded like this: "crack, crack, BOOM!!!" |

 |
| The girls posing with a 'stalker' behind them in the weeds. |
Eric with yet another fish. |

 |
| Just a few of the fireworks for the evening. |
Charles and Ted monitoring the grill and beer situation. |

| You can actually hear the fish give a sigh of relief. |
The guys are giving Kathy a hard time. |

Darren's family just got a new puppy - what a sweetheart! |
