4th of July Celebration
Winter Harbor Marina
We
flew home to Texas yesterday and spent today celebrating July 4th with
family. Stan’s sister and brother in-law
put on an old fashioned 4th of July celebration on the first Saturday of
July…lots of games, food, family and friends.
We were excited to be able to attend this year, since we’ve missed a lot
of family get togethers in the past year. The celebration starts in the late
afternoon with tons of food…brisket, ribs, sausage, hot dogs for the kids,
potato salad, fresh fruit, beans, fresh veggies from the garden, and every type
of dessert you can think of! There are competitions for bake goods, hula hoop,
bubble blowing, sack races and a seed spitting (this area of Texas is known for
it’s wonderful watermelons), with lots of trophies and ribbons for competitors.
There’s something for everyone…just watching is very entertaining. We enjoyed
getting to spend time with everyone and watching the kids have so much fun.
Plenty of food for everyone!
Bryt and Kyle were some of the judges
