Happy 4th of July!


I must say that the 4th of July Holiday was harder for us to be away from family than we had expected.  Knowing that it's summertime back home and that we are missing out on all the fun activities that happen in the summer; cookouts, vacations and swimming has been hard!  
But we were thankful to be invited over to Derek and Claire's home for a little American celebration.  They had fun games for the kids planned, cheeseburgers, potato salad, and veggies and dip.  I also found A&W Root Beer at our grocery store this week so we were able to have root beer floats as well.  Although it wasn't exactly the same, it was nice to have a little "taste" of home on the 4th!
