Celebrating the Fourth of July

There are some posts that it isn't all too obvious that I am over a month behind. This is NOT one of them.

We celebrated the 4th of July with parades, food, fireworks and great friends. It was a busy holiday weekend.

The racing Italian sausage from Miller Park. Bratwurst is visible.


Look!! It's a horse! (editor's note: Grace actually is commenting on the whip...it's bigger than the one mom beats me with.)

Playing bean bag toss. What great form?!

Pretty girls all in a row.

Sparklers
And another sparkler.

Hope you had a great 4th (a little late)!
