So, we had a fun Fourth! We enjoyed a BBQ with our church friends (Thanks to the Gillmers for hosting!) and I started a new tradition! The Flag Cake! I love it, it's so classic. It's an Ina Garten recipe, so of course it calls for 2 lbs of butter!! But it was amazing. I'm quite proud of the result.
Carl also had a blast with the kids.
After the BBQ, we went to the Sausalito Fireworks. The fireworks were lovely, but some as...*clears throat* gentleman in the crowd screamed a political endorsement during the show, and I almost lost it. I H-A-T-E election year. Four years ago I nearly lunged at a float in the Sausalito Fourth of July Parade because I beleive what they were saying could be considered treason. Carl had to grab me by the collar so I didn't give those rude, unpatriotic hippies a serious beat-down. I TOTALLY respect different opinions, I just believe that a "Marines are Baby-Killers" sign is wholly inappropriate at a parade celebrating our country's birth. Note the lack of "McCain 08" written on my cake above. Honestly, if a Reagan were running, I might be tempted. Alas, I choose the lesser liberal this election year rather than the consevative candidate. Where are you Fred?
