Happy 4th of July!

We already began celebrating this very exciting holiday yesterday.  

We made yummy parfaits of strawberries (red), yogurt (white), and blueberries (blue), sprinkled with granola to be festive, deliver, and enjoy. 



In the later evening we packed up the kids and headed to Mayville to hang out with some friends and enjoy the firework show.  Of course we have to get there early to get a "good" seat on the hill.  It was a beautiful night.  The kids got a long well and entertained themselves great while the adults enjoyed some conversation of their own.



 

Today we dress in our red, white, and blues as we venture out to watch Hartford's annual 4th of July parade.


And tonight.....more fireworks!


You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness.  You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.  ~Erma Bombeck


To all of you, a Happy and Safe 4th of July!!!
