It cooled down a little and turned out to be a nice day to BBQ, despite the scortching predictions that would have had most of the area at over 100F. A dozen friends and family members showed up at the farm and we had a wonderful potluck including Greek sliders on homemade buns, hamburgers and chicken franks, chunky guacamole, couscous salad with mint and craisins. For dessert, Cora made chocolate-dipped strawberries and cookie and chocolate slices, there were Eli-friendly chocolate cupcakes and lemon pound cake.
We headed out early in hopes of keeping Router and Eli safely at home when they started lighting off fireworks - but that plan was totally sabotaged. Every street in our corner of the subdivision had a block party and they were lighting off arials, rockets and screamers right over the rooves! And I thought they were crazy in Idaho! At least no damage was done, and they seemed to run out of ammo by 11pm so we could finally settle down and go to sleep.
