The 4th of July

I realize that this is a wee bit late for a 4th of July post, but I have been a little lax about blogging lately and wanted to catch up before the posts pile up too much :) This past 4th of July was spent with the Flint family. Mark and Elaine made us all a WONDERFUL "linner", which is to say lunch and dinner in one! It was so yummy. After linner we all went to hang out in the backyard on the new patio Mark built. He has pretty much transformed their backyard in the past couple months and it looks great! So, we all hung out around the fire pit and talked and then had some super delicious angel food cake covered in frosting and berries that Nate and Jen brought over. The perfect dessert! Later that evening we all headed our separate ways. Some to evening church, others to Seattle for fireworks and Matt and I headed home for a relaxing evening watching the animals freak out over the loud booms :) We were a little disappointed not to be seeing fireworks, but we failed to have plans and didn't feel like going to effort of making last minute plans and sitting out side in the damp grass with all the mosquitoes, waiting for a show to start. So, we just stayed in this year. The whole day was nice and relaxing. All-in-all, it was a good 4th! Hope all of you had an enjoyable 4th as well!
