My father, brother, uncles, and grandfathers served in the military. Luckily, they came home from serving. There are many that did not return. They gave their lives for us. For that, we will be eternally grateful.
If Chloe & I were closer to home, we'd be with our family at the Summer cottage swimming, fishing, and eating. We'll go next time. Today, we're going to stay in the A/C and play Wii, and have a "cook-in". We'll have turkey burgers, corn on the cob, and my homemade oven sweet potato fries.
Even though it's one of those holidays where there's a lot of food around doesn't mean your diet is blown. Just be wise. Take some veggies and fruit to the cookout. Eat mostly the healthier foods. I know that there are some relatives who'd be offended if you didn't try what they brought (even if it does have a zillion calories), just be polite and take a small amount. Talk your family into taking a family walk after dinner to burn off some of the extra calories from the day. If you mess up a little one day, it's alright. Just get back on track tomorrow. Today, just enjoy being with your family.
