Fourth of July Funtime

We had a great time on Monday with our friend Sharon having the idea of us grilling for the 4th. We thought it was awesome and think this '4th of July cookout' thing could really catch on if given a chance.

Since it the American holiday we had some chips and salsa.
Another great addition was some swimming. I really feel like this whole thing as a combo could change the way we celebrate in the States. Think of it as one whole thing: friends, sun, some meat, fire, and swimming. The possibilites are endless.
Angie made the best dessert ever: no bake cookies.

I think here I was texting Anthony and asking, "Should you flip them now?" and he was writing back, "Maybe if you are too sore to grill burgers, you should keep your opinions to your self LOL ;P" or something like that.
Meat and cheese is just enough to get Caleb to have his picture made. This may end up on our Christmas card since he rarely will sit still for a pic.
That big bag of corn on the cob was lovingly purchased and shucked by my awesome wife. Then we found it when we were ready to eat. Forgetting food in the fridge (and oven) runs in my family. We decided to nickname the corn "cranberry sauce" in honor of what we do with that particular side dish each Thanksgiving.
Thats me in my injury chair. The kids have become accustomed to me now taking that chair and hogging the remote all day. They are ready for me to get back to work. So that is the story of our big 4th of july throwdown! The best we've ever had outside America.
