In keeping with our 4th of July tradition for the last few years, we spent the 4th of July in Indiana with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and their family. It's always a great time. She's a fabulous hostess and has mad cooking skillz, and he is Mr. Pyro Man Extraordinaire. Put them together, and what do you get? A weekend full of wonderful food and impressive fireworks. Add to that the country experience, and it is a great vacation for us city folks. My kids had such a great time feeding chickens, catching caterpillars and butterflies, picking blackberries, and playing with their cousins. These are great memories we are making. And every morning now we eat "Brimm Jam," which my sister-in-law whipped up right after we got in with the blackberries. We're all impressed with her!
Part of my personal tradition is dressing the girls in obnoxious festive clothes. One of these days they'll probably make me stop that.
The guys were "festive enough" in their coordinating team gear.
This is Carrie from Little House on the Prairie. Oh, my bad. This is Little Sissy with her blackberry bucket.
Look, Mom! I got a blackberry!
