On Saturday, we went for a walk around the river. It was nice to be outside and even nicer that, for the entire weekend, the humidity was considerably lower!
We started the festivities a little early. Gracen made Grandma's Apple Pie. I remember very few family get togethers without this pie! The recipe calls for cinnamon red hots--an odd ingredient for apple pie. I wish I had thought to ask Grandma where this recipe came from.
I hadn't made this in a long time and had forgotten that this recipe card was written by Grandma. Gracen looked for a while at her handwriting.
After lunch on the 4th, we headed to American Village for the afternoon.
We saw the Liberty Bell and Liberty Hall, heard Thomas Jefferson speak, and saw lots of Colonists and Redcoats.
As we were watching the jugglers, they stopped for a moment and asked us to stand in a line. The three of us lined up and then we were being juggled around!
Gracen enjoyed the games. She did not like being on the team called the Redcoats!!
The 5th found us at home catching up on yard work and laundry! We did make time for some hot dogs and homemade chocolate peanut butter ice cream. All in a all, a very fun holiday weekend.

That ice cream sounds wonderful. I'm going to make it!
Look like a great weekend. I love long weekends. Especially when fireworks are involved.
