Happy 4th of July!

This weekend, my parents, sister, and their dog (Alex), drove down from Dallas. Both of my brothers are living in Austin right now, so we all got to spend some quality family time together. :)


One of the funnest parts of the weekend was the monopoly game played by me, mom, dad, Phillip, and his girlfriend Loren. My dad owned 2 properties, boardwalk and park place (well actually they were called apple studios and abbey road studios since the version we played was Beatles themed), he put hotels on them, and ended up BANKRUPTING US ALL. I have never seen those 2 properties landed on that many times in one game. As with any game played with the Verheyden's, there was much playful arguing, rule changing and extreme competitiveness.  

(this picture was taken before the bankrupting began)



We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs on Sunday evening with our awesome new $10 weber grill that we found at a garage sale. It is probably over 10 years old, but works just like new, and we love it! Phillip brought all his hungry roommates, my mom's friend Linda came, and an aunt and uncle were in town to join the fun. Sadly, I was so busy eating good food that I only took one picture:

Flag Fruit Tart!

I will now leave you with some pics of the fam and the dogs. Hope everyone has had a great weekend!
