The 4th of July!!

My dessert creation for our nieghborhood 4th of July gathering. We designed a flyer invitation and then never sent it out...two kids, one being a baby that keeps us up all night sometimes made us do it! Well, anyways...we met two new households of neighbors and had about 12 people total. I'll take any excuse I can get to bake something, so here is the cheesecake! We grilled some yummy ribs, chicken and the neighbors brought some great side dishes. Julio even made fresh mint mojitos! :)
Ahhh...brings back old childhood memories of doing sparklers at Grandma Jeans! Ayden was a little timid, but wanted to try it again and again.
Dale, Keiko and Erika giving a sparkler a try! A storm was brewing up just as we went outside to light the sparklers of course, so it was a challenge to light them!

Fire works are legal in this county! :) This was all we attempted, but it was really fun! :)
