Independence Day

I don't know why I love the 4th of July so much. I think I have really fond memories of it as a kid. Big church picnics, leaving for vacation, sum-sum-summer time in Ohio (which is cold about 8 months out of the year). So I always look forward to this holiday. I hope my kids will have just as much fun on their 4th of Julys.

We cooked hot dogs, had corn on the cob, watermelon, baked beans, potato salad, and cupcakes. We played wii and Apples to Apples. We only had a few wii injuries and a lot of fun. We stayed inside all day - it was a scorcher out there! Luckily it cooled off for the fireworks.
