We had a great 4th of July spent with both sides of the family.  Robin’s parents were in town last night and this morning on their way to Branson.  Emma got to spend some quality time with them at the Cheesecake Factory and then hanging out at Nana’s house on the 4th.

We had a slight ‘cooking malfunction’ at Nana’s house on the evening of the 4th.  We had great plans to grill some  fancy burgers, and also to make some red jello in a star jello mold. 

Unfortunately, the grill broke in the middle of cooking the burgers and the jello fell apart in the fridge!  See below!  We always manage to make some great memories even if things don’t turn out "perfectly."  :)

Fancy burgers cooked on the stove-top!:

Star-shaped red  jello in the fridge- can you tell?:

We hope that you and yours made some great 4th of July memories also!
