4th of July




Happy 4th of July to all! We had an early and long day. Our ward had our annual 4th of July breakfast and since Carl is in the Bishopric he got to help cook! Whoa! Yeah, I said "cook". As you can see from the picture it was mostly crack the eggs and help the other guys. It was a great breakfast though - wheat pancakes, eggs, sausage, blueberries, grapes and canteloupe. Are you hungry yet! Well that took up most of the morning. Carl, you know, is not an early riser generally so he took a long nap when we got home while I pittled around and got things ready for the family cookout.

Erin, Tony and Liam and Kim, Sam and Ethan came over in the afternoon for a swim and some good food. I forgot about taking pictures until Kim and Sam left so I only have pictures of Erin and Tony. One of these days I will get my act together. Carl did help cook though. He made a dutch oven cherry crisp which was excellent - a bit toasty on top but realy good with ice cream. He also cooked the burgers and brats. We had a nice time together. Doug got home from work in time for a quick swim before dinner. Grandma even dressed and joined the family for a visit and dinner! Erin and Tony stayed long enough to go watch the fireworks which were very cool. Carl spent time after dinner uploading more music to itunes for his ITouch - the new Father's Day toy!
