4th BBQ & Fireworks

On the 4th we had a BBQ with Dan and Michaela at their house.

Dad came, but Mom was home sick with a tummy ache - get better Mom! Kayla's parents were also there and brought Kayla's cousin, his wife, and their 4 kids. There was a lot of food, talking, laughing, and fun! We had hamburgers, hotdogs, potato salad, watermelon, corn on the cob, baked beans, chips and dips (of all kinds!), soda, blue koolaid, strawberry italian sodas, cupcakes and rice krispy treats. Kayla's cousin brought this fun game that the kids played with.

Here is my cute cupcake stand full of cherry chip cupcakes. They had cream cheese frosting and red white and blue sprinkles. Yum!

After the BBQ, Dad and Kayla's parents and cousin's family headed home. We hung out for a little bit and then went over to Settler's park to hang out until the fireworks started. We sat around taking pictures of each other and our kids and talked. The fireworks started just before 10:30pm and were amazing! We were so glad that we went. We were able to find some pretty close parking and had no trouble getting out of the lot and through traffic getting home.
