America's Bday Celebration Recap

This week we're hosting Derek's parents up here in Tha Cleve. I LOVE having family in town for the obvious reasons, but I think I secretly look  forward to unhealthy food and date nights with my husband the most. :)  

To start of their fun, we celebrated the 4th by attending a parade and sweating out about 10 pounds each. It's hard to tell by the pictures, but we all were literally drenched by the time we walked back to the car. The storms from the night before left the humidity soaring at ridiculous numbers. We tried to focus on the parade and colorful floats, but we ended up jetting before it was over in fear that we were actually melting. 


What else is there to do on a hot 4th then jump in the pool to cool down? 

Maybe eat some delicious, grilled food and munch on some chocolate dipped strawberries?

Either way, you must close the 4th of July with some great fireworks. Unfortunately, due to an "electrical issue" this was the first year in my 31 years that I didn't see a display. ARGH! We did see a couple test fireworks but no big display this year.  :(

Hope you had a great 4th as well!
