4th of July at Reaves Park

Here’s a photo album of our time so far in Norman, OK.

It’s been fun to reunite with our good friends Diana, Tim, Tyler and Sarah Hartley and to celebrate another Independence Day with them. We’ve been together for the 4th of July many times and in many locales, but it’s hard to top the great fireworks show at Norman’s Reaves Park. We had a particularly good view this year from the top of our RV!

There were some post-fireworks pyrotechnics which took place at the Hartleys, which included the lighting of a roll of 2,000 - yes, 2,000 - firecrackers. If you're wondering how long something like that lasts, it's about 2 minutes. (Of course it felt like a lot longer at midnight in an otherwise quiet residential neighborhood!) In honor of his recent high school graduation and bright future as a University of Missouri freshman, Tyler got to light the fuse.


We also got to spend time yesterday with some other old friends, Tom & Ashley Schurr, and meet their growing family - Astrid, Aleah and their latest arrival, one-month-old Timothy Liam.
