Happy Fourth!

How awesome to be in America!!!  And to celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks, cookouts and family.  We went to the Independence Day concert at Calvary and the fireworks/water ski show at Grand Geneva.  Both were super!!!  The concert didn’t feel the same without Grandma Gigi in the choir and my Grandpa walking with the Marines…I am so proud of them, and miss them lots.  Dad did a fantastic job getting everything ready at Grand Geneva.  Way to go, Dad.  We had a blast!  In Indo they only do fireworks for Christmas and New Years.  I had Cale asking, “Mom, is it Christmas?”  Then the girls go in the port-a-pots at Grand Geneva and remark how nice they are.  (Just about anything is better than those squat pots in Indo.)

Today we had a barbeque at my sister’s.  We grilled out and enjoyed tastes we haven’t had for awhile.  Italian sausages, hamburgers with real beef, hot dogs, pickles, and ice cream cake.  But the real treat of the day was Jell-o.  It tasted so good.  How funny is that that we were excited about Jell-o?  Ha ha.
