Happy 4th of July

Let the Fireworks and the cookouts commence, it is the 245th Birthday of our great Nation. It was on this day in 1776 that we said screw you to the British and said we can do it better ourselves, and we did. 

I kind of fibbed in yesterday's blog, I said we were going to cut the grass yesterday, but we managed to get it done on Friday afternoon, pretty much freeing our day up. So what did we do yesterday?

Started off with a trip to Duda's Vegetable Stand to get some things for this afternoon's cookout. When we get back from the store this morning I'll start soaking the corn for later. 

Yesterday afternoon we gave Michelle her Giraffe fix with a trip to Hovatters Zoo. They have made a number of changes since we last visited, including a nice Observation Deck to see the Elk. It's amazing how much this small family-owned zoo has grown through the years. I put up a Facebook Album of all my pics so that everyone can enjoy.

Plans for the day, we will be grilling some steaks. They have been marinating since yesterday and ready to go this afternoon. It's going to be a relaxing day at home. 

Have yourselves a great day.
