Happy 4th of July

I absolutely love this holiday! There's nothing like family, food, games and blowing things up. Everyone is coming over around 5 to eat. Dad is grilling hot dogs, brahts, hamburgers and New York strip steaks. I have been so spoiled with food since I've been here. I'm making fruit salad. I've been craving it for a few weeks. The side dishes are potluck so it'll be fun to see what everyone else brings. For games we have pool, washers and wiffle ball. And you can't forget the family favorite Catch Phrase. You should see the pile of fireworks we have to shoot off. The stash gets grander every year. It's going to be so fun having the family together. I usually miss out on it since we live so far away so it's great to actually be here.
