Happy Independence Day!

I now interrupt your regularly scheduled San Francisco tales to wish everyone a wonderful Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July!!!

I will be enjoying the day at a 4th of July celebration parade and relaxing to some music at the park with the bf, his parents and our brand new puppy Kara! Have a beautiful day full of friends, picnics, swimming and fireworks. Take a moment to remember the meaning of the day. What an incredible history of such a beautiful country. I'm proud to be an American. Here's to Freedom!!

PhotoStory Friday: Sparklers

Our family used to have FABULOUS 4th of July pool party/bbq's at my uncle's house. The college around the corner had a fireworks show that we could watch from his front yard. They moved out of that house years ago, and the 4th of July has been comparably uneventful ever since.


His two oldest kids, my fabulous cousins, recently moved back into that house-they're renting it from their grandfather, who owns it. We came up with the idea to have an old school family 4th of July party, just like we used to when we were younger, except this time? The kids were in charge. It was fabulous! I handstamped invitations and did the centerpieces and decorations. My cousin A took over the grilling from his dad, and N and I took care of all the other cooking. It was a great party, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. The adults were excited that they could really relax and enjoy, since we kids had it all under control.
