4th of July

What a great 4th!

Our friends Joe and Rachel have come back up north to visit with us – bringing a wonderful gift with them, there daughter Madalyn. We are having a great time with them.

Plus we had our Red, White and Blue Brunch this morning – perfect timing before the rain came. We had a great time with our friends – blue pancakes with strawberries and whip cream; red, white and blue bean salad; homemade strawberry vanilla and blueberry spice jam. Yum!

The girls, Courtney, Joe, Rachel and Madalyn just came back from watching the fireworks from the top of the JCC’s parking garage.

What a day! Here’s more from it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lifeoftheallens/sets/72157605979710164/.
