Ten years ago the annual 4th of July shrimp boil started. Mike and I started participating about 8 years ago. It was started by Jay's friends parents. It is truly one of my favorite events of the entire year. I look forward to it every 4th. One of our friends made the above picture collage of our shannigans the past 10 years. The shrimp boil has evolved over the years. We use to have it in Minier and now we have it at Erin and Neal's house. We don't have quite as many kids as we once did. Our oldest kids who are all 21 now usually make an appearance to eat and leave but this year only Reece was there. Boo. Nick showed up to eat and swim. The group has changed some but I love that we continue this tradition.

Jenny was still here on the 4th but her and Sarah visited Jenny's aunt and relaxed. I met up with the girls after the shrimp boil. It was another memorable 4th!
