We had a fun 4th of July weekend with the DelRosso family in Ithaca.  This annual tradition is a favorite time of year for the whole family.  A time to relax, reconnect and have fun together. Great-niece/Great-granddaughter Kayleigh is everyone's favorite entertainer.

We are always very busy doing nothing and a little of something.  The girls continued the 4th of July Tshirt tradition this year with their "Keep Calm and 'Murica On" tanks.

We of course had the annual washers tournament. This really takes up the whole day on the 4th of July, with two games constantly taking place. Teams are drawn randomly except for the prior year winners. They can stay together.  Last year's winners, Rick & Mike, couldn't hang on and the ultimate winners were Steve and his nephew Mark. We take this very seriously, complete with "engraved" trophy.

Steve continued his tradition of a fabulous fireworks show at the end of the day. Every year it gets better and better!
