Better late than never, right? So my fourth of July weekend started off on Friday with buying a new grill... the buying went better than the trying to get it in the car. The box wouldn't fit in the backdoor, the passenger side front door, the trunk... what's a girl to do? Stand in Home Depot's parking lot, bust open that box, pull out all the parts and pieces and shove them into the back seat (and that barely fit!):
The neighborhood does a big show for the 4th - it starts with a pancake breakfast:
And continues on with a kids parade (complete with a fire truck!)
The last couple of years I've missed the parade because I've been on snowcone duty at the after-parade-activities - I'm starting to get good at snowcones!!
Apparently I need to get a cruiser bike!!
Kirk & Luci and the boys and my friend Bonnie came over and we made sure the new grill worked (very well - it didn't even burn the burgers - keeper!). Kirk, Luci and Z-boy went to find an Urgent Care and meds to help with their summer colds, J-man, Katherine and Alan who were visiting their grandparents next door did a J-man version of hopscotch (and you can see Bonnie's legs... how did she escape with just a leg picture?!!)
And then fireworks... love that I can sit on my front lawn and watch them!
So very grateful to be a citizen of this great country!! Happy 4th of July!!
