Part 2

So, we spent the 4th with the Pierces in Milltown. Milltown pulls out all the stops for Independence Day...Riley got to ride a train and take a ride on his first pony, which he was ambivalent to until I started loudly "singing" the Bonanza song and then of course, he loved it. Then, it was a Major Meatfest at La Casa De Pierce with more than few trips thrown in to the swings & slide. Riley had a gazillion kisses for "Gib-thin". We had a great time (and the food was delish!)- thanks for having us over!

P.s.- Liz, when Jim went back into your house from the car on our way home, Riley of course, said "I want the Gibson" a couple of times...Michigan J. Riley he is- will only speak when he wants, never when his parents want him to! Oh, and he passed out before we even got on Rt 18.

Makeout session or as I like to call "blackmail" for when Gibson and Riley become teenagers and are ripe with "the sass":
