We had a sunny day with beautiful clear skies, but the temps remained on the cool side.  We were up a little earlier for our morning walk as we had a busy day ahead of us.

The whole family was gathering at our place this afternoon for a cookout, so right after breakfast I got busy making a pasta salad while John did some straightening up around the house.  We wanted to get all the food preparation done before noon as Amy, Dave, and the boys were coming over right after lunch to visit before the rest of the family arrived.

Everyone else got here about 4:30 and, as usual, the cousins had a great time visiting and playing together.  We all had a good time and before we knew it, it was 9 p.m. and time for the party to break up as the kids were getting tired and needed to get home and to bed.

When peace and quiet returned to the house, John and I spent the remainder of the evening relaxing and watching a little TV before heading off to bed.
