July 4th, 2023

 My older daughter and my grandson came over to spend the day with us.

We didn't do anything special. I cooked out, just as I usually do on July 4th. 

Here are some pictures from this year. 

Our new kitten who I call, 'Baby', likes to climb trees.

Of course I put the flag out, like every good American should. 

I grilled broccoli, Brussel sprouts, and asparagus. 

I also grilled shrimp, hamburgers, and smoked sausage. 

I thought I would also share some pictures from last year's July 4th meal. 

Grilled steak and different kinds of sausages. 

Barbecued chicken.

Roasted potatoes, onions, mushrooms, peppers, and carrots. 

Barbecue baked beans. 

Macaroni salad. 

I am enjoying some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream at the moment while watching a movie, and thinking about taking a nap after. Happy 247th birthday United States. 

Solo: A Star Wars Story

We started our day by doing some house cleaning. When we took the trash outside, we found a baby deer.

After spending some time with the deer, and letting it go, we hung an American flag for Memorial Day.

Then we went to Crystal Falls Water Park for the afternoon.

Followed by going to see 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'. The cinema had comfortable recliner seats.
