After the parade we had to finish getting ready for our 4th of July party that night at our house. The night before Kevin and I had smoked some Boston Butts on our Big Green Egg and they turned out great! As you can see on the stove, we pulled them off the grill at 1:06 am. Talk about a late night!
Friends started showing up around 5 pm and we had about 60-70 people stop by throughout the night. There were pork sandwiches and we also had our friend Luke smoke a bunch of BBQ ribs for us. We ask that everyone brings a side or dessert and we provide the rest.
AJ found a new friend, Marla. |

The kids all got different colored glow sticks; this was really nice once it got dark out, we could tell which kid was our’s!
The party was great and we got to see a lot of our really good friends and neighbors!
Friday we spent cleaning up from the party, napping, playing outside, eating supper at Dairy Queen and playing in the park.
