The 4th of July
Everyone in Dorothy’s family came into town this weekend for the 4th of July. Heather and Jeremy were here on Sunday with Willow, Christopher’s 7-month-old cousin.
Sunday I made faux risotto for the first time, which was a big hit. On the 4th we grilled chicken and corn on the barbecue.

I must say that the fireworks were better than I thought they would be. It was nice to be close enough to feel the explosions. (More than one kid was crying by the end.) Here are some pictures, and two movies of the fireworks:
