Around here the 4th of July stinks. Seriously. Fireworks are not for sale and it is blazin' hot outside even after the sun goes down. A thirty minute firework show used to be the best and now it seems like it goes on and on while we swelter in the heat. So most of our holiday revolves around the food. And oh the food was soooo good this year. 
Darren was on a diet at the time, trying to win the Biggest Loser jackpot at work, (Which he did, by the way, losing 30 lbs in 10 weeks!) and so our menu consisted of lean proteins, and lots of veggies and fruit and grilled on the bbq - love grilled pineapple! 
We threw together our red, white and blue jello as well -sugar free this year. There was so much good stuff to eat. I'll forever be grateful that our kids aren't picky eaters. It allows us to ALL enjoy a great meal.
Later that evening we busted out the contraband sparklers that Grandpa Wells gave us. 
Elijah wasn't too sure about them though.HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

That food looks really good. Way to go Darren. I'm glad all those early morning biking trips paid off. Looks like you had fun.
You won cool. I need to get in shape as well. Not loose weight for all my sisters and sister-in-laws that are rolling their eyes but really just get in shape. I am proud of you Darren and Missy running for the 24th. Any way back to fact that this is Heidi's blog. Sorry for the Missy detour The food looks great and sparklers should not be illigal that is silly that is like saying matches are illigal. Anyway love you guys I am glad you got Dad to sneak you some sparklers. I wonder if I could get those on a plane :)
