4th of July 2012

What a wonderful day we had celebrating America!!!  The weather could not have been better.  It rained from about noon-5pm but that did not keep us from swimming!!!  At 5pm it stopped and was a perfect 75 degrees for supper and fireworks!  We spent the morning getting our dishes ready to take to Beth and G's.  I was in charge of hot dog buns, watermelon and the boys and I made a flag cake!  I got really festive and cut the watermelon into star shapes!!  We had hamburgers, hot dogs and brats with potato salad, watermelon and corn on the cob!!  Another wonderful cookout!  After eating and swimming, we set off some of our own fireworks and then headed to our spot for the firework show.  The Station Casinos out here have a firework show and we are closest to Red Rock Station Casino so we watch theirs.  There is an open lot across the street from them and that is where we have gone the past two years!  This year both boys were awake and stayed outside to watch the fireworks!  They loved them and it was another wonderful firework show!!!
