Fourth of July weekend

We had a great weekend. John's cousins from Washington state came to New York and spent some time here with us. Interesting story. John had never met anyone from this side of the family. His cousin a few years back started to do a whole geneology on the family and led to us. Turns out there is a lot of family on that side. We have kept in touch since usually with Christmas cards and emails and now facebook. So when Barbara decided to do this amazing cross country trip with her niece Krystal she asked if they could come visit. We had a great time with them. We took them to Montauk to see the oldest lighthouse on Long Island and they came to our fourth of July bash at my brother's house and then fireworks at my sister's house.
