4th of July

We’ve been trying to work out something to do to celebrate our first 4th of July back in England.  Naturally we don’t get the day off, so time is limited, so we’ve decided that ‘smores will be our tradition.  This isn’t as easy as you might imagine – Graham Crackers aren’t available here, neither is Hershey chocolate (thankfully) and most of the chocolate we have is sold in thicker pieces, and marshmallows are not too common.

But I think the effort will be worth it to help Sam with his incomprehension of the whole thing (he asked me today whether my aunt, whose home is a mile away, lives in England) and Lauren with her need to eat every 38 minutes.
