We celebrated the 4th of July by saying bye-bye to Alfredo!
George did the dirty work...
While the boys and I watched... We were hesitant to include the boys on the whole process, but after we explained it to Sawyer he said he wanted to watch.
Sawyer paid close attention to everything while Jack phased in and out.
It was so bloody hot outside this is where they ended up.
And this is where Alfredo the Chicken ended up...stuffed with lemon, garlic, and parsley; then roasted over a bed of rock salt. Turned out juicy and delicious. Admittedly I had some trepidation about the whole process, but it was a good experience overall. This is about as 'real food' as you can get and we're ready for our farm :) Sawyer and Jack were very matter-of-fact about it. "Alfredo's dead. Let's eat!" Alfredo (4 months old) weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs. 9 oz! This was after he was all plucked and gutted.
The rest of the 4th of July we enjoyed our freedom by cooling off in the pool!
Jack and Papa!
Smiley Sawyer! We love getting to spend time with papa.
And then we stayed up late to watch the fireworks.
The boys lasted all of 15 minutes. Then Sawyer decided it was time to go home and go to sleep. I hope his good sleeping habits rub off on his little brother soon! We're so thankful for our country and the freedom we enjoy. I hope we never take our freedom for granted and can teach our boys all about it. God bless America!
