scenes from the fourth

7.05.2011

We had a fabulous Fourth here in the Pate household yesterday. The day was busy, fun, and fulfilling. We grilled, ate corn on the cob, saw a few errant fireworks, and ended the evening with a yard full of neighbors and friends. My kind of celebration.
As well as a few photos from the day's events, I wanted to follow up on this post from a few back.
