Traditional 4th of July S’mores

July 10, 2010 By

We started a tradition a couple of years ago to go along with our 4th of July cookout. Chris finds small twigs and sticks laying in our yard or goes down to a nearby wooded area and gathers them, then burns them in our hibachi grill and we toast marshmallows and make S’mores. This year we also finished up the box of cheap fireworks bought at Meijers that morning.

Happy July 4th 2010!

July 4, 2010 By

To my U.S. readers, Happy 4th of July!  I hope you are with family and friends, eating and laughing and getting ready to watch fireworks tonight. Our township had fireworks last night, and we’re doing the cookout tonight. We’ll be having my All-American Burgers, potato salad, corn on the cob, and watermelon, and then building a fire in our hibachi grill and toasting marshmallows for S’mores after it gets dark.

To see the photos I took while we were waiting for the fireworks to start last night, including the kids playing with sparklers,  visit my Flickr set for 4th of July 2010.  Here’s one I took of Chris and the kids:

Enjoy your holiday everybody!
