this years 4th of July

 I love America and celebrating my independence!  In the last several years the 4th of July has become more and more a favorite holiday.  For the last few summers it's just been me and my boys, with no other family around but we've had so much fun!  I decided to make a few patriotic things (if I make the strawberries again I'll use different sprinkles- those stained our hands!)  The drink I made will be a new tradition- Brody was obsessed with it!  We decided to take Brody to Chuck E Cheese for his first time since he'd been asking for ever.  It was pretty empty so we were glad we went that day!  We later had our BBQ, mock campout in the backyard complete with tent and s'mores, and our own fireworks.  Oh, and I got the last box of "bomb pops" at the store so I was happy about that.  The day was seriously a blast- in every way.
