4th of July at the Westermeyers

Every year now for who know how many years
the Compston's and Westermeyers have
gotten together on the 4th of July. As the
families grow and have their own families we
seem not to have as many come. Some starting their
own traditions and others not able to be there
because of distance, or work.
This year we celebrated the 4th on the 3rd.
We still had around 23 of us there. We missed
everyone that couldn't be there.
We had a great time visiting, and of course eating.
If any of you know that group, it's eating the minute
you get there till practically the time you leave.
There was the playing of corn hole, which the younger
ones tried to get in on, also later in the day some of
them got out the paddle boat and went out on the
pond. Grandpappy was finally able to get Braeden
to go out with him, he was a little afraid that the fish
would jump up in the boat with him.
They feed the fish and enjoyed that, the fish were
on the large size.
A good time was enjoyed by all. Tara and the grand kids
were able to make it so that was a wonderful surprise.
It is always good to see everyone, but we did miss all of
you who couldn't make it.
