Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July! I hope everyone had a wonderful day and went and saw some awesome fireworks!  The morning started off a little bit crazy - Willow cut her paw pretty bad and was bleeding all over the house and the boat, we were trying to bandage her up and clean up the mess, there were people coming over to go out on Ryan's boat, I was trying to clean and get the house ready...Then my dad, stepmom and brother flew in and got here around lunch time.  I picked them up, dropped off their luggage at our house and took them to Jersey Mike's for some lunch.  When we got back, Ryan was just getting back from boating.  The boys decided to go to get some fireworks and a few last minute groceries while Laurie and I stayed home and got ready for people to come over.  We had cheese/crackers, veggies/dip, hamburgers, bratwursts and I made a neat flag cake, like it?


Al & Doreen came over and brought a delicious fizzy wine punch, some potato salad and her famous coffee cake.  Then Nate and Kayla arrived with baked beans and apple pie so we had quite the feast!  After we were all done stuffing ourselves with tasty food, we headed out on Al's pontoon boat to go watch fireworks shoot off over the river.  The temperature was perfect out - not too hot, not too cold and not a drop of rain.  Thank you City of Melbourne for a nice fireworks display!

After we got back, my dad and Parker got out all the fireworks they had bought earlier that day and we all started setting them off.  This is the first time we've set off fireworks at this house and it was a little more difficult because there are so many big trees!  I still need to go outside and sweep up any scraps or trash we may have left.  I was surprised to see that no one else on our street seemed to be lighting any off but I guess everyone went to bed early since they had to work today?

Overall we had a very nice fourth of July spent with some of our favorite people, great food and fun fireworks!  Happy 4th of July!
