My Grandma and I. We ate a delicious dinner of KFC: the all-American Sunday night dinner! |
After dinner on Sunday evening, we watched a funny DVD by Chonda Pierce that we had given my Grandpa for Father’s Day. It was quite comical! |
Monday morning (July 4th) found us working in the yard. Josiah helped sweep up the bush clippings. |
Roma, weeding in one of the beds. |
Daddy cleaned out the gutters of the house, and let us kids climb up on the roof for a picture. Yes, we had fun! J |
After all that hard work, we enjoyed another dip in the pool to cool down. |
In celebration of the 4th, we ate yet another “All-American feast” of burgers, watermelon, baked beans, and potato salad. Delicious! |
And of course a red-white-and-blue dessert of cherry pie with ice cream and blueberries sprinkled on top. |
For the past several years, we have bought some of our own fireworks and put on a display for the neighbors in front of my grandparents’ house. |
One of our favorite fireworks was a little one that makes the surrounding area look like a bolt of lightning just flashed. See how well it lit up the area even though it was nearly 10:00 p.m.? |
This one surprised us by how far it shot up and out. |
We also enjoyed lots of colorful fountains. |
And a fourth of July celebration wouldn’t be complete without sparklers! |
Tuesday morning Mom fixed a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs, grapes, toast, cinnamon rolls, orange juice, and milk. |
We spent the rest of the day at the beach. It was a gorgeous day, perfect for the outing. |
But it was admittedly a bit on the cooler side once you got in the water. J |
For dinner we had my Mom’s homemade spaghetti, garlic bread, and tossed salad. It smelled like Olive Garden inside the house! |
Since Daddy has a birthday this month and we don’t get to visit my Grandparents very often, we celebrated. Mommy made her delicious triple-chocolate birthday cake, and it was as yummy as ever! |
Daddy then opened his cards and gifts. |
Sadly, we had to leave the next morning. But we made our way to our other grandparents’ house in Ohio, so stay tuned for a post about that half of our trip!
