4th of July

We had a great 4th of July this year! On July 3rd, Rick and I went to an outdoor concert at Greenfield Village. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra performed, and concluded with the quintessential 4th of July song- the 1812 Overture. With real cannon blasts and all! We brought a picnic and some chairs.

Got a little wet in the process (yay for summer thunderstorms?)

but eventually had a beautiful evening.

And of course, it was all topped off with a spectacular fireworks display!

The next day we went to party at some of our most favorite Michiganders house for their annual 4th of July bash- we look forward to it all year! Sophia mostly liked the food.

And the pool. She LOVED the water slide and made Rick keep taking her over and over. 


Little slice of paradise

And one of my most favorite things about this party- cooking in a huge caldron over a fire. How American is that? Come on? Fire-roasted corn chowder = very yes. haha- hope everyone else had a wonderful 4th of July like us!
