Taste of Texas
This was a 4th of July party out in the country at a friend's house where we enjoyed BBQed pork, chicken wild boar and brisket, great company, a rain storm (which we endured under a thin canopy), intense mud, guns, fishing, fireworks, and fire ants, adventure (okay, the fire ants were not enjoyable at all).
Here I am with little Carrie, the daughter of a friend of mine (covering her ears to avoid the sound of shooting guns).
Benjamin doing one of the things he loves best. He spent a bit of time this day explaining to the inquiring Cadence the laws and loves of guns, shooting, and manliness. I love this photo.
The storm finally pulling out and sunset looking beautiful. It is true what they way about Texas - big sky and all... and if you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes, it will change again.
Storm rolling out.
It was a great day but we were literally covered in mud and few fire ant bits per limb by the time we left.

These pictures are great! I love the big western skies. Detroit style 4th also includes gunshots, but usually a different kind and in not so wide open spaces.

We have some friends from North Carolina and we picked up a few things from them including saying "Dang!" and "I mean..." (which usually includes some attitude) as in the sentence:
I mean, you better get out of my way because I'm heading for some chocolate.
or in describing something that wasn't your fault:
I mean, I totally had the right of way and this person just cut me off!
or in making a statement with no room for other opinion:
I mean, Veronica Mars is totally the best show on television.
(Ben and Simone, I think you would like it!)
