We observed Independence Day together as a family Monday evening in a get-together at the clubhouse in Ben's and Adi's HOA in Centerville. A fire had broken out on the hillside in Centerville the night before, but fortunately no one on either side of the family had to evacuate their homes. And the show went on.
At our shindig, the goodies included hot dogs, chips, apple pie, watermelon, and homemade ice cream. Mom contributed this cake, with blueberries and strawberries in the form of the United Kingdom's Union Jack flag (get the tongue-in-cheek reference? She was born in England but is now a U.S. citizen):
JB is pretty amazing with our niblings, including two-year-old Sadie:
Kenna and the littles enjoyed a game of foosball, while others also played that and air hockey. Some watched The Sandlot, playing on the TV screen there.
No fireworks? No problem. This being a drought year (and also thinking of the Centerville fire), we skipped them this year and watched the West Bountiful show instead.
