We went over to Amy's parents' house that evening and I took some more of the pasta salad and these cake balls. I did manage to get a picture of these.
These were absolutely delicious! However, I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I had some left over butter cake mix and some vanilla icing from the baby shower so I mixed these together then dipped them in the chocolate bark. I didn't want to mess with drizzling other flavors over them so I just sprinkled some confectioners sugar over them. I think they turned out great! I will definitely be making these again BUT only for special occasions b/c these are very dangerous.
At the river we ate lunch then a storm blew in so we didn't really have time to enjoy the day or take any pictures so I had to get a family pic when we got home. Rafa looked so cute in his American bandanna!
Later that night we went to hang out with Amy and family. We had some great food and fun. Their neighbors shot loads of fireworks which would rival at least the Stars game fireworks. We got to watch from the backyard.... didn't even have to go anywhere! Amy and Dan brought over their beer pong table. Lucas and I played together but we were made to throw the ball, not bounce as we normally do. We got off to a rough start but ended up doing pretty well together! I still prefer to bounce though. Later in the night, Amy's parents actually played! Wow! It was fun! Lucas got her mom to play with him and later Amy played with her dad. Here are a few pics.
The night ended (for us anyways) with Amy's mom challenging Dan and he ended up having to take a shot of some pretty rough alcohol. Great pic!
It was a great 4th! Next year I hope rain is not a factor so we can enjoy the river with Rafa a little more. I was so looking forward to watching Rafa attempt to swim. Ha!
