4th of July

Happy 4th of July to everyone back home. Yesterday, we were able to enjoy a relaxing good old American BBQ thanks to the Hart Family. 

Uh oh! Someone is batting her eyes at a boy at such an early age. Something tells me we're going to have our hands full in a few years...

The Hart Family 

The Nierengarten Family 

The Blossom Family 

IU...clap, clap! IU...clap, clap! Note to self- teach Coltan the IU cheer if he doesn't already know it.

There has to be games outside at a 4th of July BBQ.

Grace's first kiss? 

How cute are these brothers? 

Relaxation. I just love how they have a couch sitting against the open window. You rarely see air conditioning in London, which is fine because there is usually a cool breeze when you open the windows. It never gets too hot over here. However, nobody has screens. Another thing I just don't understand???

If this was my home, I would be very tempted to take a daily nap, drink a glass of wine, read a book, or all of the above in this spot. Katie did point out the obvious street on the other side of the window where cars and pedestrians casually pass by. Details. :)

Happy 1st 4th of July, Grace. How ironic for you to celebrate in the United Kingdom. 

Many thanks to the Hart family, who hosted a BBQ. It was lovely meeting you and spending the holiday with your family. Good times with good people.
