4th of July, Italian style

We are back from our vacation at Grandma's house in NC. The first thing we did when we got there was relax (Camden found the hammock!).
Together with Aunt Laura, Grandma and Grandpa took us tubing down the Green River. (Sorry, no pics of this)Camden went down in a raft with Grandma. He did not like it at first, but when he got acquainted with his surroundings (with the help of Grandma feeding him grapes) he soon became a little TOO comfortable and pretty much spent 2/3 of the trip in a huge nap. We were amazed that even though traveling through some pretty bumpy mini-rapids and sloshing through ice-cold water, Camden would slip right back into his nap!
Grandma and Grandpa are freshly back from their trip to Italy and decided to treat us to a 4 course Italian feast for dinner. 1st course: antipasto, which was gouda cheese, ham rolls and apples (the appetizer). 2nd course: a fettucine with broccoli, garlic and freshly grated parmesan cheese. 3rd course: pan-fried beef with mushroom sauce and seasoned potatoes. The 4th was a dessert that Aunt Laura made, a trifle with fruit, vanilla pudding and cake. We finished it all with Italian liquors. It was such a treat to pretend we were Italians!
