Our 4th

Things were a little different for this 4th of July. Our usual party/parade in NC was not part of our tradition this year. Oddly, it was the first time in about 12 years that the NC party would not be held. Strangel, that made our new plans feel a little better. 




It was a cloudy/rainy day. So, we stayed inside most of the day and played games. Then we had a modified cookout for the four of us. Around 7:30, we headed to the bay to watch fireworks on the beach. The view was great, but the many people around us were a bit annoying. We will find a better location next year. 

And, with that, we celebrated America's Independence Day in a new way.

4th of July 2 0 1 5

Our annual visit to the Kinney farm for the 4th of July party was another success. It always begins with decorating the golf cart and deciding on a side to take. I made this side and it was delicious!



Once at the party, the kids run around and have fun, we all eat, and then the golf cart parade takes place.













The evening ends with a fireworks display on the golf course. 



Happy 4th of July!

Fun 4th

It's another year of 4th of July photos (click to view past photos of the 4th). This year the venue changed to our neighborhood pool. The host and hostess of the yearly 4th party had been away for 10 days so they decided to make a change and head to the pool for all of the fun.
