Day 185- the 4th

Well, I'll keep this one short...
I'm definitely thankful for this country, but I've never been a huge independence day fan. For some reason it feels like boasting and being prideful (although I never mind when others celebrate their nationality). I do enjoy a good fireworks display and grilling out though. This year, we were a little lame and grilled out at our friends, the Shelton's, house. The kinda lame part is that they were out of town! We had to use their grill because we didn't bring ours with us to KC. So, we spent the evening grilling brats and corn, watching Extreme Makeover: weightloss edition, and listening to fireworks. We stayed at their house cause we thought we might be able to see the fireworks, but alas, as soon as we got packed up with the sleeping baby to try and drive around and find the big show- the finale goes off. How did we know? We and our no longer sleeping child had no problem hearing the big show! Luckily, Caleb went back to sleep quickly and Alan and I truly enjoyed a simple night together relaxing. Thanks Sheltons for the use of your abode!

hey susan! i can't figure out how to respond to your comment so that it emails you back...i'm so not web savvy! but, to thaw the food for Liam we either put some in the fridge overnight or just use the defrost setting on the microwave to thaw it out before using the normal microwave setting to warm. i hope you have fun with it!
