OUR QUIET 4TH OF JULY - JUST US AND A COUPLE THOUSAND OF OUR CLOSEST FRIENDS

So, DH and I decided to just spend this July 4th all alone in our own backyard.  I made a Brisket, Potato Salad and Beans and we bought some homemade ice cream, (made by someone else) and got ready for the fireworks.  We ate outside which we don't do very often because of the heat and mosquitoes, but we have lanterns so we tried it.

Dinner was fun and then slowly we weren't alone anymore........

It got dark and everybody got what they had been waiting for!

Then it was over and everybody started to go home, but we really enjoyed it while it lasted :)
