First of all let me just say how awesome it is to be in the good ol'e USA on the 4th this year! I was so excited about it I decided to buy all of us "flag shirts". Usually the boys are the one who are patriotic but this year I couldn't resist! :-)
We spent the day at our good friends house....Pedro and Lorena. She is one of the best cooks I have ever met and so I love going over to her house and cooking with her and learning new tricks! And of course I did! Pedro grilled chicken, fajita meat, sausage and brisket. It was amazing! Not to mention all the sides. One thing that I loved was what she did with the onions. So, I will share, for those of you who like to try new things. She took a raw onion and wrapped it in foil. Then they grilled it until it was super soft. Then, she cut it in half and squeezed fresh lime juice all over it with salt and pepper. I know it is so simple but let me tell you...those onions were awesome....and addicting!
So, after we ate and stuffed ourselves I went to church to speak to the youth. We had a good service. And then of course we ate all over again. ~sigh~ While I spoke at church the boys and my parents watched fireworks and the boys played with the sparklers. I missed out on it but it's okay.....this was my 1st July 4th to ever be at church so I am not going to complain about it. ;-)
I will post more pictures of our youth on the 4th when I get the pics from my friend. In the meantime here are a few pictures I took from our weekend.
I hope you all enjoyed your 4th as much as I did! I will just end by saying once again... I am so BLESSED to be living in the USA again!
