3 YEARS AND COUNTING! Our new family tradition is a seafood boil on the 4th of July with Grandpa and Grandma Elliott. This year we feasted on shrimp, mussels, crab legs and crawfish. along with red potatoes, corn on the cob and artichokes. With over 10 bs of seafood alone it was absolutely amazing how quickly it disappeared. The meal was followed by a fireworks show, provided by Grandma E and the great state of ND. The boyz were busy for just over an hour putting together a fine fireworks display and at 11PM Grandma and the boys lit a "hot air ballon" lantern and set it free into the night sky in support of our troops. It was amazing to watch it float away into the sky and we lost sight of it when it was well over 2 miles away in the night sky. 3 weeks of baseball left, then summer begins. No sports from July 26th till Aug 17th. Better get the boat running.
