4th of July

This year our family celebrated the 4th of July for about 3 days. We started off the festivities watching the Hamilton fireworks on Thursday night (which were really nice, by the way). Friday we had a hike to the top or Baldpate Mountain (the 2nd highest point in Mercer County--not that that's saying much). We had a picnic and games when we got to the top. The kids were great hikers and we had an all American meal of hummus, pitas, potato chips and rice krispie treats (can you tell who picked the menu?).

Saturday morning we had our traditional waffle breakfast, which is always a lot of fun. Bryce was in charge of cooking waffles again (and it looks like he ate a few too).

Saturday afternoon we went to Howell Living Farm for games and homemade ice cream. We got there a little late but dad got there in time for the last batch of homemade strawberry ice cream.
