Friendswood Fourth of July 2009

The girls gather & show off their patriotic outfits	When Dolly & David add to the play, Touchdown!
Group photo with Old Navy Old Glory shirts	Dolly, Alex, and Erin join in on the fun in 2009
Head to Stevenson Park after the parade	Beautiful weather, other than heat, for a picnic
It's easy selling ice time when it's 100° outside	Little girl shows her strength by hitting the bell
Shaved ice is very popular today	Kettle Corn and Snow Cones are also in demand
Turkey legs & Shrimp on a Stick appeal as well	This year's raffle car is a four door Jeep
Cici's Pizza works better as all you can eat buffet	The post parade picnic is always a hit on the 4th
Check a few more booths before heading for the A/C	Our gazebo family brick is in need of touchup
Erin is still upset she didn't see the parade	At least grandma stayed with me in the cool A/C
Enjoy some local bbq back home in the a/c (Hickory & Oak Smoked Barbecue)	Have three different sauces to choose from
Donna helps Alex dig in to some good grub	Dominos are a tradition at all family gatherings
Breaks are required every couple of hands	Alex beats the heat with a cool drink
Margo declines riding the train on this play	Nena & Mavis wish she would reconsider
Another break and this time with cold watermelon	Margo keeps her white shirt white
David digs in, that's not a green mustache	Alex wonders just what the heck to do with this thing
Daddy gives her a demo on watermelon eating	Better to bite into the red & not into the green
Alex quickly becomes an old pro.     Our seedless watermelon puts off the spitting contest until next year
