Happy 4th of July

HAPPY 4th of JULY

We spent the 4th of July at my parents house. We had family over and ate the most delicious food...pulled pork BBQ sandwiches, grilled corn on the cob, homemade cherry pie, raspberry salad, green book club salad, kidney bean salad, watermelon....and yes, the list goes on!

(you can just make out a white dot and a brown dot in the pond. That is Boss and Sugar...they were doing laps, trying to catch the geese!)

We went swimming and fishing. The boys were trying to catch the little baby resident gator in my parents pond. The kids all had a blast with the sparklers. Only one injury....Josie put her hot sparkler in the bucket, but somehow managed to burn her fingers in the process (its always an Anderson getting burned on the 4th!)

Sam did a nice little fireworks show, followed by Duce lighting his birthday fireworks. When ours were all over, we went out to the dock to watch the other fireworks from around the lake. It was a great way to spend the day.

PS: if you haven't, read 1776. It certainly made me appreciate the sacrifice that so many went through in order for us to live in this amazing free country that we do!
