This year was even bigger than the last - which we kind-of thought it would be based on the Evite responses. We had 188 people respond yes to the Evite - but we weren't really sure how many would actually show up. I tried to count twice during the evening, my first count got lost after about 220 people, the 2nd time I tried to count it was close to 300 before I lost count again. Regardless of the actual numbers, we were thrilled with all the people who came this year!
It's always a ton of work - but we really love doing this for our friends and neighbors! Thanks to everyone who came (from as far as Maryland, Chicago, & Cincinnati - to our locals), who helped us with prayers (yay to the rain staying away) and with financial blessings! We almost can't wait to do it again next year - so put it on your calendars now - it's always on July 3rd!!!
Have a great 4th and enjoy the pictures. We have the entire show recorded (thanks to Brian Lingle for recording it and to David Paul for loaning us his video recorder) and we will put the whole thing - or at least the grand finale on YouTube later. I'll get that posted here on the blog once we get it downloaded.
Love ya all!

So bummed I missed this. Heather couldn't stop talking about it. She said Shawn was amazing and in his element. This is such a great thing to do. Wish I could've been there.
Beth, It's Matt Bays. I just started my sister's blog without her knowing. It's a surprise so come to it and leave her a welcome comment to get her started. Just click this link. She should find out tomorrow when she checks her email.
Awesome party! So glad we were able to hang out... wish it could have been for longer! Loved the fireworks display! Nice Shawn!
