4th of July Fun

This year the 4th of July fell smack dab in the middle of the week -- what a weird time for a holiday!   We definitely made the best of it though and had a fun cook-out with my parents who were in town and some of our great neighbors!  We had been meaning to get some of our favorite neighbors together for a long while and this odd mid-week holiday seemed like the perfect opportunity.   Even though it was a hot, hot day, the late afternoon shade and breeze made it pretty bearable outside.   It was a fun reason to get everyone together and celebrate America's independence!
