Happy 4th of July!

We had such an enjoyable day celebrating the freedom we enjoy and the blessing it is to live here in the USA! Megan, Todd and the boys came over for a yummy steak dinner with corn on the cob, watermelon and yummy honeydew from Dad's garden and Megan brought one of her yummy green salads! Afterward, we went swimming and it was nice with a little breeze blowing-- it was under 100 degrees today! Then we came in and had homemade strawberry/banana sorbet and chocolate ice cream! The boys were super tired so they didn't stay to watch the fireworks outside courtesy of all our neighbors!! (And the city fireworks here in Peoria and Surprise! We can see them both from the pool jump wall!) I watched for a bit from inside and then Bill and I went downstairs and watched a show. It was a fun day and it was nice to just relax this afternoon and evening!
