So, it's a little funny to celebrate the fourth of july with a Brit. Typically, we end up shooting up the ol' barbie, playing a little croquet. But inevitably, Jamie gets a little competitive and challenges the "american's to a duel...." and because he's Jamie he always wins (this is just a fact that I have learned to deal with). But this year....Jamie's mum was in town...so i was outnumbered.
This fourth started out as usual, jamie wanted to wear his union jack t-shirt. In his defense it is red, white and blue...I made him change. We decided to go to Lake Anne Park in Chanhassen. We did bring a clients dog with us...(they were throwing a big party and didn't want him to get let out by accident, or anything like that). So, me, Jamie, Jo, and Bells (the puppy) all headed to the park around 3om to start up the bar-b-que. I made ribs, pasta salad, and fruit salad for desert (can't get much more american...unless maybe hot dogs and apple pie. We payed a bunch of card games and fetch with Bells...and then settled down for the real show. Jo, was AMAZED by the show....it was impressive!

Jamie always has to take a picture of his fires that he builds...is this a guy thing??
Bells, the Wheaton Terrier, enjoying his day out in the sun!
And the great food!
Happy Fourth of July to you and yours! This is one of my favorite holidays because it really is all about family and friends...I hope all of you got to enjoy your family, friends and freedom together!
