Warning: Photo overload in this post!
I'm disappointed that this holiday is over so quickly. It's probably a good thing though because I'm still exhausted from all the shenanigans. Good thing it's almost the weekend again:)
It was a fantastic 4 days away from work and filled with lots of food.
My hubs made it home Wednesday night, just in time to shower and change before heading to a 3rd of July party. We ate some food, drank some drinks, and watched people try to blow things up. What's not to love?
|
Excuse me, it was so cold, I wore a sweater. In July. |
|
My cousin Sophia and my husband have a very love-hate relationship. |
|
Sophia and I just have a Love-love relationship. |
|
No one was harmed during the exploding of these explosives. |
Thursday morning I got a little sleep while Seth mowed the yard. His favorite thing to do. Seriously, it is. I cut up some fruit to take to the family reunion at my Grandma's and we picked up a bucket of fried chicken. Oh yum, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
|
What? You don't cut your fruit into star shapes? |
Lots of people showed up to Grandma's and after saying the pledge of allegiance and praying we chowed down on all the food.
|
Grandpa leading the group in The Pledge. Enjoy the socks. |
|
Julie, would you like some carbs with your chicken? Why yes, I think I would thanks! |
|
Perhaps a slice of Peanut Butter Pizza as well? Don't mind if I do! |
It was then time to relax and enjoy our adult bevvies while watching little kids. So responsible, aren't we?
|
Maybe my husband and I have reclining lawn chairs. |
|
My cousin Dominic and his girlfriend with the most patriotic hand-painted cooler I've ever seen! |
|
I don't even know. Yankee doodle dandy maybe? |
|
Just eating a brownie before her sister can steal it from her. |
Since a bunch of the cousins were decked out in our matching apparel we thought it best to take a photo. Obviously, we ordered our Grandparent's shirts as well. What Grandparent's wouldn't love a "Time to Get Star Spangled Hammered" shirt?
|
Cheers, America! |
|
Here's a terribly unflattering photo of me with some of the cousins. You're welcome. |
|
Me and hubs. Mildly freaked out by overly skinny wrists.
|
We were the entertained by a hearty rendition of "cups" courtesy of my cousin Michael.
Seth managed to hit not one but two triples in the family softball game. His team won. nbd.
|
Good thing he hit the ball far because he's not too fast. Sorry love. |
Then we ate some more (not to be confused with a s'more) before enjoying all the night time fireworks.
|
Grandma and Grandpa enjoying the fireworks. Notice Grandpa never changed out of his shirt:) |
It was definitely an amazing 4th and no one lost an eye. Bonus! Can't wait until the next one:)
I really want a smore. I've been thinking of making one over a candle.....
ReplyDeleteI have a gas stove and don't think for one second I haven't used it to toast marshmallows. Maybe I'll do a tutorial?
