Independence Day

The great thing about living in a foreign country when you are American is that you get to celebrate most American holidays twice.  Once on the actual holiday, which is not a holiday in the foreign country and once on the day that just works best to celebrate.  As was the case with Independence Day.  We celebrated the fourth of July last Saturday because that was the day that no one had class and then we of course had to celebrate a little yesterday because how can you not celebrate the 4th on the 4th?

We had a BBQ at Allison and Ryan's house in Lance Aux Epines with a lot of our good friends from Newcastle.  Everyone brought their own meat to cook on Ryan's grill and a side dish to share.  We had a great time grilling and hanging out with each other.  We ended the night playing "The Game of Things, " which, if you haven't played, you need to head to Target right now and get!  It was a great 4th of July and as is usually the case, Josh and I have made new holiday memories with our SGU family.
