Pulled Pork on the 4th
Looks like we coordinated, but we really didn't.
Not on purpose anyway.
Gracie pulled out the Eskimo Joe's T-Shirt bin and told everyone to pick one, and this is what we ended up with.
I asked the fam a week ago what they wanted to do for the 4th.
Camp?
Malad Parade?
Take the boat to the lake?
Kevin said "Stay Home".
Kloe said, "Lets grill something," and then changed her mind to pulled pork.
Nobody else cared.
Have I mentioned it's the Summer of Kloe?
The Summer before the kids go to college or on missions we make it their Summer. They have the final say on most of our plans and Kevin goes out of his way to wait on them hand and foot.
So, if Kloe wants pulled pork on the 4th, Kloe gets pulled pork on the 4th.
I went ahead and spent three dollars on a banner and plates and napkins.
Em and Garren joined us for dinner and then they packed their table in the bus and took it home.
What fun stories they'll have to tell their kids about how they built it!
Oh ya, one of the girls requested Smore's with peanut butter cups...
And then we watched our very own firework show from the backyard...
After Smore's the girls, all four of them, played on the tramp.
Kev and I snuggled up on the couch and just listened to them laugh.
Doing nothing on the 4th turned out to be pretty great.
And a happy 4th from these cute little firecrackers!
Last night we gathered around the Donaldson table for its first family meal.
And then we gathered around it again for its first family game.
Now that the table is finished Em and Garren are going to have to come up with a new excuse to come hang out with us during the week.
Oh ya, they still have the bench to finish :)
