We had a wonderful weekend. I just LOVE 3 day weekends. And I really love 4th of July. It was so fun that it combined to make a 3 day weekend this year. Wednesday 4th of Julys are kind of lame.
We spent all of saturday running errands and doing to-do's around the house...we only moved 2 weeks ago and had a goal to get everything done before our BBQ here on Sunday with family.
Sunday morning we went to church then came home for last minute food/party prep! Family came (Adam's parents, Tay, Grannin, and my parents too) and we feasted! Adam manned the grill and cooked Brats and Burgers to perfection!!!
We had fruit salad, watermelon, gourmet basil/avocado/tomato salad, and dessert too! It was a mouthful but it was all delish...and looked pretty too!
Later, we went to Bass Pro Shops for a field trip...it was a grand ole time. In the evening the Broughtons had to leave to go back to T.O and so Adam and I and my parents took off to go to the Speedway for a parade and fireworks show! It was very very fun and well worth the 10 bucks. There were vintage cars and motorcycles parading around the racetrack... and the lovely (budweiser sponsored) fireworks show was set to a great fun soundtrack.
My parents served as our first overnight houseguests...they had to be in San Diego Monday afternoon and staying out with us gave them a great headstart! We enjoyed the morning with a hike up Ice House Canyon and a dip in the icy spring water! (ok, only our toes but still).
After a lunch on the patio at Cheesecake Factory with my grandparents we all said goodbye and went our separate ways! Adam and I headed directly to the couch and watched a movie and the Dodger game. We were tired, but tummies were full and hearts were content!!!
