Did everyone have a wonderful 4th?  I sure did.  This was my 1st married 4th of July, and the 1st Independence Day spent with my inlaws.

We spent a good portion of the day at my in-law’s pool.  My mother in-law and I caught some rays while Derek and Davis goofed around in the pool.  My father in-law smoked some delicious and extremely messy ribs.  We watched a couple of movies, played a few innings of wiffle ball GIRLS VS. BOYS, and indulged in some brownies a-la-mode…with homemade almond ice cream.

It was a perfect day with one exception…my parents, brother, and sister were not there with us.  My parents drove down to New Orleans with my nephew to visit my grandparents and uncles for the long weekend.
