The next day we had a real American BBQ in our Backyard. With friends, food and faux fireworks we celebrated the 4th again! It was nice to be able to sit back and relax, while the 9 kids ran around and played. (Van is still in the process of cleaning his room though!) The only time that fireworks are available in Armenia is Christmas. But Jen and I were able to find some confetti blower things that the kids thought were cool, and Jen brought some sparklers. Van got out his pretend AT4 and we blew the confetti through the tube, and the kids thought it was great!!

The Guys
The food - I didn't think that I'd have enough, so I just kept making more. Yeah, we didn't eat even half of it. We had 2 types of Beef Kabobs, a spicy marinade called Haitian Voodoo Sticks and the other was a garlic, soy sauce sprite blend. We also had chicken Kabobs, marinated in a Honey Garlic sauce, then we had Salads, chips, dip, I made Apple Pie and a Sour cherry Pie - complete with Lattice top crust :) and Jen made a really good peach cobbler. And of course there was watermelon and Muddy Buddies for all!!!
CHOW TIME!!! Ava the Carnivore!!

You look lovely and the celebration sounds wonderful. Glad to hear you are settling in well. We are in our final day of pack out :)
Looks like you guys had a great 4th of July celebration. It must have been awesome to be involved with the celebration at the embassy. I love the picture of you and Jared with him in his uniform. I remember the days when we had all the cousins up for birthdays...we cleaned before they came and then again after they left. We are so glad to see that you are making so many friends.
Where are all the couple from that you have in the pictures with you? Are they all serving embassy duty?
