4th of July




As you saw from a previous post our 4th of July was very low key and slightly boring.:(  In the past we are used to having big celebrations and having a ton of friends and family over to celebrate with us, but not this year.  Gabe and Molly hung out with us for most of the day and then headed down to see her family that evening. Trish came down later in the afternoon and David put new brake pads on her car and she paid him with a delicious Coldstone Cake! Yum! Then we hung out for a little bit, but no one was here late enough for the fireworks.  The kids were so excited to see them. We were out there by 8:30 that night waiting even though it doesn't get dark until about 9:30. Some of our neighbors were doing  theirs though. So we enjoyed sitting on the kid's pirate ship and watching them with a pretty good view of everything.  By 9:30 the kids were asking if they could please go to bed...twist our arms! Parker had only made it until about 7:30 or 8:00.  So it was not our typical 4th of July, which was sad, but everyone needs a low key one every once in a while!:)
