4th of July Weekend – what are your plans?

As if I didn’t have enough to do (LOL), I found the Ultimate Blog Challenge on someone else’s blog this morning and thought I’d give it a whirl.  The goal is to post at least once per day every day during the month of July, to build up your blog’s following and social media, and to make some new bloggy friends.  We’ll see . . .  If you’d like to participate too, it’s not too late.  Just click this button:

So, is anyone else having a hard time believing that we’re celebrating the 4th of July already?!  Seriously, where has this year gone?!  We’ve been so busy and the time is just flying by.  I want to be careful not to miss out on the here and now, though. 

Do you have any special plans for the weekend?

It’s become a tradition to have a cook-out at my Aunt & Uncle’s house.  They have a beautiful home with the best yard.  We usually roast hotdogs and marshmallows over an open fire, and have just a few other salad-type items to eat – oh, and dessert!  The highlight of the day, for Gracie, is picking blueberries!  Here’s a picture of my younger 2 kids at this get-together last summer:

We have some other  things we’d like to accomplish this weekend too.  I’ll post more about those as they are happening (or after, with pictures).  Can’t wait to hear about your plans!

If you’re stopping by via the UBC, welcome to my blog!  I hope you’ll visit again.
