Proud to be An American (in England)

This year we celebrated the 4th of July in the same ways as usual...with hot dogs, beer, bbqs...and Brits?  A little bit strange to be celebrating America's independence from Britain in Britain but we like to keep things interesting around here. Riley did not have off for the big event but we did notice a few American Independence Day sales around town on American products. Needless to say, we had a fun time (even without the fireworks!) hosting a BBQ on the 4th and attending a bigger BBQ thrown through Wayne's work later on in the week. It rained both days but the girls still got in the partying spirit, complete with face paint, dancing and ice cream. The girls broke out their red, white and blue and best smiles just for the occasion!

Riley wanted a British flag on one cheek and an American flag on the other but had to settle for an American flag and a star. ( :

We had fun hosting friends at our house!
