Happy 4th of July… better late than never, right? Sometimes I wonder if it matters, but years later I know I’ll be happy to see the post. :)
We celebrated the 4th as we have the past few years, hanging out at home during the day then fireworks in town in the evening.
The 4th was the day of the big wedding, so when I told the kids to pack for the fireworks Eve took the job seriously!
The best part of the whole wedding was when Eve got all set up and then said, “Oh no!” As soon as she looked at me I had a vision of the two stuffed animals who were supposed to be getting married, laying on the dining room table. Oops! I suggested we have the wedding another day, but she said we’ll carry on without them and just skip to the cake part. :) She’s so go-with-the-flow!
Look, Alan and I were there too. :)
A bit later we met up with some friends, and Mema and Grandpa Tom joined the group. We had a nice little fireworks party.
Two of the kids in our group were 5yrs old and witnessing their first fireworks. Their commentary was hilarious! I wish I could remember all of it, but here are a few lines: “It’s like popcorn! And bombs!” and “Mom, what happens if you eat them?” They would have been an excellent Kid Snippets soundtrack. :)
The obligatory fireworks pictures. The show this year was fantastic! It lasted a full hour and they even had enough for a spectacular finale! Totally awesome.
So that was the 4th of July. I’m just a week late with my postings, but I spent most of that week at a conference learning cool teacher stuff.
