We usually have our picnic lunch at the Berlin Community Grove but it was raining so we had it in the parents barn. Grandpa still bought everyone their BBQ chicken from the Grove while Grandma and the sisters all made various dishes. Marlie, Kira, and Reece had fun playing with each other. It was the first time they were all together since October so everyone was snapping pictures. After eating we gave the babies their naps and then went to Aunt Chars for another picnic. James and dad bought fireworks in Nashville, since they are illegal in PA. The men shot them off and then we watched the fireworks that the Grove set off. We always watch them from Char's front yard. Marlie loved the fireworks. The loud noises didn't even seem to bother her. She kept looking up in the sky and clapping.
