21. Have a cookout

Since moving into our house four years ago, we have started a few traditions.  One of them is an annual fish fry / cookout with the Barhams, Tudeens, and other various friends and family.  It usually falls around the 4th of July and always includes tons of food, beer, and kids running around like complete loons.

This year was no exception. Yesterday the men-folk gathered in Scott's garage to fry fish and the women attempted to keep the kids alive. When the sun went down, we headed out front for some fireworks and smores.

And the boys, not wanting left out of the fun.

All in all, a pretty good day. And surprisingly, my house isn't a complete disaster!
