Christmas in July (4th)

To celebrate July 4th being a cold and dark (ok kinda)  holiday in Australia, we packed up and headed to the Blue Mountains for a framily (friends who are family) Independence Day/Christmas in July getaway! 

We rented a big house and brought the dogs. Bomber and Rudy had a big time. 

We hung out, did a few sing-a-longs, hiked, tested our wine knowledge, lit sparklers, sang the national anthem, and made a big American feast. We are very lucky to have some Australian friends who make sure American holidays are a big deal over here! 

Um please note- do NOT replace American Pinterest ingredients with Australian ingredients you *think* will taste good. Nope no no no just don't. 

This may look pretty...

  

But it tasted like sour cardboard. 

Moving on...

We had a great time and are happy our Australians love celebrating America as much as we do!
