Party Time

The Fourth of July is always a party. Normally we take in the holiday in Bismarck with Sara's family, grill and enjoy an outdoor meal and watch the fireworks from the park across from Grandma Julia's. This year we didn't think fireworks were the best idea, but we did have some fun as the A's came for a barbeque dinner visit.

We had a great spread of food. I grilled (burned) short ribs, and hamburgers. The ribs were still excellent though, which was nice because Angela (one of our friends) had dropped them off for us the night before. John and Bev did all the work getting the details ready, since I was busy fire-fighting with the meat. As you can see, it was quite a spread: burgers, ribs, two fruit salads, lettuce, tomato & onion, watermelon, chips, a few deserts (which hardly touched). Just what the Fourth is supposed to be. More pics are here


Timothy was showing off mom's new "Smile Shutter" on her camera:

Tobias had on his "Little Firecracker" outfit. Very appropriate for the occasion. Notice the rest of us have American Flags on our shirts....

You're pretty quick yourself with the new post. You guys had some great pics - Adam dancing was just, well, interesting.

It was so fun to spend the afternoon with you and the new grandparents and most importantly, to meet Tobias. Can't wait to see him again soon.

Thanks for letting us take over your backyard for a few hours! Feel free to invite us over for your cooking and company any day! :)
