Happy Independence Day!

Yesterday, we did the sort of thing that Americans do on the 4th of July when they live in a warm weather state.

We went to the pool!

This pool is far nicer than most, because it is at a friends’ home.

Here we are headed down to the pool.

But this photo also serves another purpose, because you can see the little awning covered area that is next to the pool. This is where we did the other Key American Event on the 4th of July: we grilled. (We being the male half of the couple that owns the home.)

Of course, to put a true Texas spin on the holiday, we grilled meat for fajitas.

But believe me, the fajitas were really fantastic, and a real treat, as compared to burgers and hot dogs.

And we finished the meal off with another Key Food on the 4th of July: apple pie with vanilla ice cream on the side.

yuuuuuuuuum.

it was a lot of fun! :-)

    Mmm….fajitas and ice cream with apple pie! Sounds fantastic. I say the word “fajitas” up here and people look at me like I am insane.

    Amber, do you pronounce the ‘j’ or pronounce it the right way? ;-)

    It was around 90 up here – I was very glad for the lake, so I can only imagine how nice the pool was!
