I just realized I never posted for July 4th.
Jason bought us a grill for our [awesome!!] backyard, so we grilled out burgers, made some fries, pasta salad, and too much food. We planned on watching the fireworks from the yard (our new neighbors let us know the view from here is spectacular when we first moved in), so we waited around in the yard for dark to set in. It had been sprinkling a little, so I tried searching online to see if they were going to cancel the show when I discovered that the town fireworks show wasn't even happening till Saturday. So we put on the crappiest clothes we could find and hightailed it to post to watch the fireworks there from the car.
We started out in the car. Then in the back of the car. Then we decided that we might be able to see better if we walked a little closer to the field, still dressed like homeless people.
It was a really great show and luckily it was dark so hopefully no one saw us.
It was really late when we got home so we didn't get to light the sparklers Jason got us till the next night.
That was also the night I caught some kind of virus.
So Saturday was spent mostly in bed, popping Pepto, and sipping gatorade.
Jason was stuck on daddy-duty and took the boys to the park for the Independence Day festival. They got their faces painted, went down the water slides, jumped in bouncy houses, and brought me some homegrown tomatoes from the farmer's market.
They ate pizza (I had crackers) and we lit the sparklers. Then we sat out on the treehouse platform and watched the fireworks from our back yard.
The view was spectacular!!
