Our 4th of July BBQ, a Day late


Due to all the rain, we had to have our 4th of July BBQ a day later. My sister made hamburgers and brought over sausages. My mother made a salad, and we grilled up some corn. It was a very low key BBQ, but still a lot of fun. My sister got the meat at Cost Co. My father & brother-in-law were in charge of grilling the food. I tried to get some good pictures, but the smoke from the grill was screwing with the auto-focus on my camera.
