4th of July

I took the kids over to my in-laws to swim while Phil umpired a tournament. Everyone made their own kabobs to put on the grill. I decided to do Shrimp on the Barbie, Outback-style. I found the recipe for the spices to sprinkle on the shrimp and the remoulade sauce Outback serves it with, online. They also had the recipe for the bread, but it was too hot to bake. It turned out delicious--Philip--my picky one even tried a couple of shrimp. Oksana ate five skewers of shrimp--so I know she liked them! It was hard, but I managed to save some for Phil when he got done umpiring. We finished the day off with a volleyball game in the pool, with guys vs. the girls. Most games, the girls beat the guys! The kids did some poppers while Phil let off a few small fireworks. At 8:30pm we drove over to watch the fireworks display at Sherwood Forrest.
