We celebrated Independence Day at our place with Gabe, Curtis, Adrian & Abby. We grilled pork chops and marinated chicken skewers, and rounded out the meal with typical All-American summer fare: corn on the cob, Vern's baked beans, and chocolate chip cookies. Since the weather was so amazing we spent a good portion of the afternoon and evening playing Kubb in the backyard. Abby, Adrian & Josh will be the team to beat come the next Bartel gathering!
