Ice Cream and Fireworks!

July 4th... the day to celebrate our nation's independence! It is one of my favorite holidays. It brings back feelings of carefree summers and playing outside after dark...basically it makes me feel like a kid again.

We started off cooking out...




It wasn't low fat to say the least!


Then to add to the fatness (if that is a word:) we made homemade ice cream!


When I went to check on it I saw a message...at first I thought how sweet!! But then I thought ...could that be to the ice cream???? ;-)


In the rush to devour the scrumptious frozen treat, all I was able to get a picture of was the leftovers!

Then we headed out to light fireworks.
Two hundred and thirty two years later there are still bombs bursting in air!
Well that's at least what it sounded like tonight when we went outside.

They were actually very pretty...the pictures don't do them justice....









Another Happy Birthday for our country! With wishes for many more!
