| | Celebrating America's Birthday!
We had a great Fourth of July. Our neighborhood had a parade in the morning. Lot's of families showed up and we we went around the neighborhood showing our spirit. Afterwords, we all met in the park and had watermelon and cold drinks. The kids got to play on a bouncy castle. It was a great start to the day. Here are a few pictures from the morning:
Suzanna and I got patriotic with our toes. We made a float to ride in. Started out that the kids were going to ride decorated bikes but this is what we ended up with!

That evening some of the neighbors got together and we had a Hot Dog Extravaganza. My neighbor had all these hot dogs from a family reunion left over so we decided to come up with a bunch of different toppings to put on our dogs. The thought of it made my stomach turn but I got to tell you those dogs were some of the best ones I have ever had. Some of the toppings were bacon wrapped around the dog, onions raw and grilled, red and green peppers grilled, chili, different cheeses, coleslaw, jalapenos, beans and pizza sauce and pepperoni.
Here are pictures of the food and of some of the creations people made with their dogs:
 
 
 
 
James Daniel enjoyed his dog. YUM! The kids waiting to see fire works.
It was a lot of fun. This will be the last big hurrah I have with my neighbors because two of them are moving away at the end of the month. I will really miss Suzana and Amy. They were my partners in crime, my sistahs, my sole mates of everlasting friendship, they completely "got me". I know we will keep in touch and hopefully see one another once in awhile since they are both only going to be about 2 hours away, but the neighborhood will never be the same with out them here. *SIGH*
