We had such a great time this weekend. Jennifer, Nathan and the kids came in for the weekend. Pete always has such a big event planned for the fourth. This year he had a band, water slides, air castles, great bar-b-que, homemade ice cream and cobbler, and of course, fireworks. There were about 180 people there. My brother, David and his wife, Connie, came for a visit with Mom and Dad, so they came to the party, too. Connie's from Philadelphia, so she got to see a big Texas Bar-B-Que.

Here's a 1912 ice cream maker. It made 5 gallons and it was so good rich. Josh said his mother used 54 eggs in it! Boy, was it rich and creamy.
