After The Party's Over and Celebrating our Independence!

 Saturday July 2, 2022

Lake Norman and Iron Station, North Carolina

Time to clean up the Lake House, load up all our food, games, kayaks, inflatables, and everything else, then sweep, mop, wash the sheets and head to Cami and Jacob's!

This buddy loves his Grandpa! 

They had a pretty good time rocking on the porch. We found them like this several times.

Jesse and Kelly were reluctant to leave in the afternoon, but they had flights to catch and animals to take care of back home in Idaho. And, it looks like Delta added a couple of new Pilots in their fleet. Clancy and Tyree were so excited when the pilot invited them to sit in the cockpit.

Saturday evening with Cami & Jacob, Skye and Ryan, Cody & Alisa and their children!

Saturday evening we drove up north of Hickory to Sim's Country Bar-B-Que where the food was good and they play live country/bluegrass music and room for dancing. We all had a great time, especially when they let Alisa pull out one of her fiddle and play with them. They were pleasantly surprised as they weren't expecting a professional and asked her if she could come back. All the kids got out on the floor and danced! It was a great time. Such a good time that Grandma Cindy forgot to take photos. Cody and Alisa had to leave to go back to Utah right after dinner and the rest of us headed back to Iron Station.

Sunday July 3rd - 

After church Avery thought it would be nice to decorate Aunt Cali with stickers while she was napping (or attempting to nap.)

The whole family came over in the late afternoon and I think we wore miss Maggie out! How can anyone sleep like that?

Monday July 4th - Happy Independence Day!

We had our last big get together on Monday with those of us who remained along with Mike and Dru and quite a few of the Guffey Family Clan. 

Delicious Food and Fireworks for everyone.

And Games, lots and lots of Card Games, Board Games and kid games!

When we finished the fireworks Darryl and I loaded up the car with Jake, Hillary, the boys and Rocky and headed down to Florida where the Platt's will catch a plane in Orlando and fly to their new home in Costa Rica! So here's a sweet good-bye photo until the next reunion. 

Stay tuned for more adventures of Darryl and Cindy in Florida.
