Fouth of July Celebration

We started out the day by going to a ward breakfast and flag ceremony at the church. I took the kids by myself, but amazingly they ate and played really well and stayed with me for the most part.
Then, this year we decided to have the festivities at out house. MJ went all out with the food as usual. We BBQ and had homemade strawberry ice cream. The food included: streak, burgers, chicken breasts, drumsticks, fruit salad, and salad. I was amazed that we all ate as much as we did! It was great to enjoy great food with great people.
Then we let the kids play in the pool for a few minutes. They loved being chased by their uncles and tasting the ice cream to see if it was done.




After bathing them and cleaning up dinner, we went back out and did some "popper" fireworks, since that is what is legal here. The kids had a blast and we were able to get away without going to a big fireworks display.





Then we had dessert! It was really good. MJ made two buckets full and we are still enjoying it.
The kids then went to bed and the adults stayed up a little later and played some games. Over all a wonderful day! Hope you had a wonderful 4Th too!
