4th of July

I love the 4th.  This year was a bit unusual because it rained a lot and it was nice and cool.  (A couple of my kids complained that it was too cold.)   We spent the day with Leo and Annette and their family.  Leo barbecued and there was tons of great food, as always.  I made a huge fruit salad (no picture of that), flan (also no picture), a "flag" cake, and we brought cookies we bought from Annie.

We ate.  We talked.  We played games outside.  We played games inside (Cover Your Assets and Mexican Train).  We lit fireworks and watched fireworks and visited and had a great time.  And there was the most beautiful sunset.

This was just round 1 of food.  So much more food was prepared and served and enjoyed.
