Fourth of July

Fireworks at the ball field.

We enjoyed a nice long 4 day weekend for the 4th of July.  We were able to visit the Capital City and catch up with friends and family.  We had a pretty packed schedule and managed to see a lot of people this trip.

Patriotic salad

On the 4th of July we got together with family and had a delicious meal together.  Dad grilled skewers, Mom made a delicious homemade lemon meringue pie, and I made a very patriotic salad with blueberries picked straight from my mother-in-laws yard.  I could eat a few buckets of her blueberries!

After dinner we went to a baseball game.  We have done this many times over the years because they always put on a nice firework display.  We all had a good time despite being rained on.  We toughed it out and it paid off in the end when we had a front row seat to the show.  Lou was really impressed by the fireworks...she squealed "WOW" for every single firework, it was pretty cute!  Kiki on the other hand was a little frightened at the thought of being outside when fireworks were being shot, Pappy took her to his car so they could watch them inside.
