We were up and out the door by 7:45am for a flag raising at Grandpa Bowers gravesite. We got to the cemetery about 8am. Uncle Stanley had a little program that told a short story or facts out of Deni's family genealogy. We raised the Texas and United States flag at the cemetery.
Here is a picture of Ryan and Sydney at Grandpa Bowers grave.
After the flag raising, we went to Uncle Stanley's for breakfast.
The rest of the day was spent visiting with extended family. The kids played in a little blow up pool.
We had dinner about 6pm. Right after dinner a large thunderstorm came through which made us run to get everything taken down before they blew away.
After the rain stopped, one of Deni's cousins started playing the game of Fireball. The game consists of a ball of twine/small rope that is soaked in kerosene then lit on fire. Once the ball is on fire, it is thrown around a circle, much like hot potato. Obviously you can't hold on to it so as soon as you catch it, you have to throw it again. We got some laughs out of watching them throw a fireball back and forth. I wish I would have gotten some video or photos of it, as it was quite the site.
