4th of July

We headed out to the lake for the fourth, as we do every Saturday of the summer!! We had a great time with the kids and enjoyed some fishing and swimming!

After we got home, my dad and I went to visit my Great Grandmother who turned 102!! She is in a nursing home but was totally aware that we were there, and was talking to us on how to make sweet milk. She has lived through so much in her life. One amazing woman!

Then we crashed for the night and the kids surprised us by sleeping through all of the fireworks going off around the house! Well, the fourth of July wasn't complete without making my favorite summer recipe!! Here is how to do it!! It is so yummy and so easy to make!!
