Well we had a fabulous 4th of July! We started the celebrating on Tuesday night with Fireworks at the local high school and we had a picnic while we were there and it was an awesome display. We got home Tuesday night and started our cooking for the 4th and I made my cake (see pic above) and coleslaw. I usually make a flag cake but found a recipe that had a little variation on the arranging of the fruit and it also had a couple different ingredients in it so I decided to try it out and everyone said it turned out great. On Wednesday Scott and I got up early to get the house and the deck ready for everyone. Once everyone started to arrive around 11:00 we put the fish on to fry along with the hushpuppies and french fries. It turned out to be a good crowd as we had Dale, Cathy, Riley, Jim, Liz and their grandson. Jim and Liz also brought their newest additions to the family which are three of the cutest puppies that are chiwawa and poodle mixes. I have included a picture of one of them below where Scott was trying to teach one to swim....lol. Once it got a little later in the day Liz's two kids Derek and Fallon came over and they brought Derek's girlfriend as well. So to wrap everything from the 4th up....we had great friends, good food and a great time socializing, swimming, playing horseshoes and can't wait to do something like this again.
