Our Fourth Of July Traditions

Our family loves holidays and this year is no exception. We packed up a cooler and the kids, drove an hour an a half to our secret place on the river and spent five hours swimming and chatting.
Then, we hauled our butts home, changed and went to Grandma’s house for steak and pasta salad and cherry pie.
Quel Bliss.
Fireworks, a few bottles of beer and wine and a lot of laughter make the night worth it.
We got home around Midnight and collapsed into bed.
It was a blast and I can’t wait to do it all again next year.
How was your Fourth?

    No fireworks? That’s terrible Nina. At least you had the food and games.
    Thanks Rob!

    It sounds ideal! No traditions for the Fourth here. This year I forced my anti-social butt to walk down to the neighborhood block party to watch the fireworks display. I had fun in spite of myself. : )
