I'm so behind!
We had a pretty good Fourth of July.
Chris went in to work in the morning, but the rest of us slept in. We just lazed around the house all day until 3:00. Then it was time to cook out at my parents'.
We had a feast. Ribs, chicken with special sauce, fried squash, baked beans, green beans from the garden, cake. Oh, and I contributed some slaw. Homemade, not store-bought! I got in big trouble with my mom at a cookout last year. I went to get cabbage for slaw at the last minute and Kroger was fresh out. I showed up with store-bought slaw and got a tongue lashing.
Anyway, the family had a nice afternoon together. The kids played and the adults talked.
Later on that night, we went to see some fireworks at a small church near our house. We've been going there for a few years now. They put on a pretty impressive display, it's free, and we don't have to fight traffic. We met up with my sister and her family and a few more friends. I was sitting in my camping chair, watching my kids run around in a field, playing football with friends while watching fireworks and thought, "at times like this, I really like living in the country." I guess my friend Kelli is a mind reader, because she looked at me and said the same thing. Ha ha! We entertain the idea of moving to Gainesville sometimes, but other times, I like being far out in North Hall. I didn't take many pictures. I mostly just soaked everything in. We did take one of Violet in her 4th of July attire
and this one, the one good shot I could muster of the fireworks with my iPhone.
After the show was over, we hugged our friends goodbye and five minutes later we were back home.
It was a good day.
