What Are Your Plans for 4th of July?

Well, this year the Calhoun family will be celebrating the fourth with a parade and picnic in our little town of Ross. It's so freakin cute! The kids decorate their bikes, trikes, wagons, strollers and themselves and parade down main street (all 3 blocks of it). Then we gather in the Ross Commons for a town picnic - there is face painting and games for the kids - it's too cute!

What are your plans this year?

I cook for three days and we eat for a week. I just got a Jessie Steele apron for the occasion. On the menu - Chicken and asparagus roll-ups, open-face Mozzarella hamburgers on country french bread, homemade basil and sun dried tomato pizza, red white and blue cake. Oh darn - Better get on the treadmill.; ▶ Reply to This

Hoping for a good turnout of expats this year!; ▶ Reply to This

Yes, we are the best. I know.; ▶ Reply to This

We will have a number of friends up there with us to BBQ, boat, fish, watch lots of fireworks, eat Smores and drink our fair share of cold beverages. We will have some kids there with us, including my 22 mth old which makes things that much more fun! My hubby;s 35th b-day is July 5th so we will celebrate that as well! Enjoy and Happy 4th!!!; ▶ Reply to This
