On Independence Day we had the most relaxing day at my in-laws' house. Jeff's sister's, Nickie, was there too with her family. We started off the day with breakfast. Pancakes and a breakfast casserole in the backyard on their patio.
Then my mother-in-law had a request from one of her grandchildren to tell a story about America or Independence Day. So she talked to them about flags and the important of flags.
Then they worked on making their own flags with paint
Later I made my favorite green smoothie for everyone.
It is the Green Monster Smoothie. Here is the recipe:
1 Cup of soy milk
1 T Peanut Butter
1/2 scoop of protein powder
1 apple
1 frozen banana
2 cups of spinach
We brought our inflatable pool for the kids to play in. They had a ball and played in it for about 4 hours!!
I tried to take some pictures of them but I couldn't quite capture the ultimate fun they were having. Then my father-in-law posted the picture below on Facebook. It captured the look of absolute delight they were experiencing. I love it.
Then it is tradition to make a cake that looks like a flag with blueberries and strawberries.

I love going to my in-law's house. It feels like a resort where I can go to get away from the cares of the world.
