So, how was your 4th of July?

Posted on Jul 6, 2010 | 0 comments

Mine started off pretty busy. My husband had to work so I was in charge of all the grilling. I have not been in this position in a while. I fired up both grills and got to cooking. Now you know I had all types of rubs and seasonings. I have a slight obsession with rubs and even use them with my crockpot. I found some more McCormick’s Grill Mates on sale for 50% off and replenished my stock! I grilled some Johnsonville Italian Sausage and Brats (so yummy), hotdogs, chicken, hamburgers (regular and veggie) and of course ribs. We also had some fruit: stawberries, cantaloupe, mango and watermelon. Not just the regular red watermelon but some yellow watermelon too! I don’t really care for the yellow. The kids like it but good old red is what I will stick with.

The kids stay in swimsuits all day. There was swimming, water balloon fights and the slip and slide. Even my nephew got a little wet, lol. Can you imagine all the towels that were went through? But for once I was ok with it. The kids had a lot of fun!

Then we got to go see fireworks, yay!!!! We went to my favorite “spot” and my niece and mother-in-law showed up. That was a nice surprise. My mother in law was calling my name but I did not hear her. When I am around fireworks, I block everything else out, lol. The spot we were at made it possible to see two firework shows. On in front of us and the other behind us. It was spectacular!!! All the colors and sounds made me want to jump up and down and clap my hands. I know, I am just a big kid, lol. On the drive home we saw some more fireworks starting so we pulled over, got out of the car and saw another show. I did not even carry my camera this time. I just wanted to enjoy the show. My mother in law did take some pictures so I am going to ask can I have some copies. Oh, and we did not get bit by any mosquitioes. My husband bought some of the wipes, I think they made by Cutter and they worked great! It was a wonderfully exhausting day
