Ever since we moved to Michigan I have always felt bad because I know how much my dog loves the 4th of July. It is probably his favorite holiday. His family always does a big get together ever year and I know how much he enjoys it. I must admit our 4th of July festivities have probably been disappointing since we moved to Michigan. Last year we went to a parade out in Mason that was really depressing and we swore we wouldn't go back. So this year there wasn't much on the calendar. We invited our friends the Clarks over for a BBQ. But didn't have anything else to fill the day.
We headed to Bob Evans for some hummy breakfast when we rolled out of bed (it was nice we didn't have to deal with a crowd because of the time) It sure hit the spot! We then just hung out at home, Deke watched a documentary but didn't get to finish it because the cable went out with 20 mins left in the show. He was a little disappointed. I made my dog's favorite 4th of July foods, baked beans and potato salad minus the celery and onion (and he was tons of help!!). He loves these foods and I new that if I had them then I could help him still love the holiday. Our friends came over and we grilled some steaks, which was a nice change (seems like we always do hamburgers). They have the cutest kids and I think having kids around on the holidays makes things more fun. When it got dark they did sparklers and a few other fireworks. Turned out to be just enough excitement for the kids, and I know I liked not having to deal with traffic that goes with going to watch fireworks!
In all it turned out to be an enjoyable day. Hope the 4th will stay my dogs favorite holiday! Hopefully Michigan hasn't ruined it too much :)

Our 4th of July festivities consisted of mostly yard work. The entire time we were weeding and planting and raking and mowing and trimming Rob kept repeating under his breath..."this sucks". We did manage to squeeze in some sparklers and fireworks for the kids...I think that's all they care about anyways! Happy 4th!
Sounds like all of us had super exciting, over the top 4th of July celebrations! On the bright side, you'll be home for the next one :).
It was a blast! Thanks so much for having us over. Amber and Karli ask me almost every day if they can go to "Derrick's backyard and do barklers and catch light-ing bugs". We had tons of fun celebrating Independence Day with you and Derrick. :)
