July 4th Weekend

We had a relaxing July 4th weekend spending most of our time outdoors.
We drove to a nearby trail that Chad mountain bikes at and let the dogs run around. This was Summer's first experience in the woods. Of course the camera died when it was time for me to get my picture taken with her.
Thanks to Lisa and Philip we grilled out a delicious meal of marinated chicken legs, corn on the cob and pasta salad. Thanks Goons and Grillmaster Chad!
Then on Sunday we were enjoying the perfect temperature and breeze outside and I decided to inflate the air mattress on the back deck (yes a little ghetto) and take a nap with Summer. Maybe this wasn't the classiest of ideas but it sure was comfortable! Oh and Summer did not dress up in Red, White and Blue...everything she has right now is pink. She won't be wearing red until Alabama football season (which isn't too far away, Roll Tide)!
