Good morning, MMC family! Happy 4th of July!!! Does anyone have any fun plans for the day with family or friends? Cooking out? Parades? Fireworks? Boating? I love hearing so be sure to share :]
When I was little, we used to have a large family gathering at my grandparents' house. Ever since we lost my grandma, everyone went their own way. My immediate family is just having something small, my grandpa will be over. We're going to be cooking marinated chicken on the grill, vegetables, and have some other side dishes. I love cooking out! We even bought a new grill for the occasion. The rest of the day will probably be filled with corn hole, relaxation, a few drinks, and maybe walking around to see the fireworks. We used to buy packs of fireworks when I was a kid, but we stopped doing that years ago. We'd light them off in front of my house and my neighbors would all come outside and watch in the street - it was so much fun!
I am getting hungry just thinking about all of the yummy food that we are going to be having. The 4th is one of my favorite holidays, but it also bums me out. I feel like this is the halfway point to summer being over. I don't love the summer temperatures all of the time, but I can't say that I am getting excited about being back at college in a couple of months! The only good things coming are two things -- vacation and Christmas!!
Have a great day, everyone. Be safe, stay hydrated, and have fun!!
