I love to celebrate our country's independence. We are so blessed to live in this great country!
This year we started out by weeding and planting a tree! The parade was skipped and no one cared. We went to the Gateway instead and CR got "Superstar" from build a bear. (Part of his bday present). The mall was completely dead. It was great!
Then we went and had a picnic with the M's. Z found this hidden little park in the avenues. There was hardly anyone there. We had the bowery all to ourselves and there was a playground and lots of shade. My parents would have loved it but they were in Boston.
Then K had to work at 3 so we came home, dropped her off and we drove up to Logan to have dinner with the P's and the Fz's. They made a yummy dutch oven dinner. We talked and relaxed. We wanted to leave a little sooner but we didn't get out until about 8:30. So we made it to the fireworks but just as we were walking to the park they started so we just sat down on someones driveway and watched from there. It was great only 1 block away.
The kids all had sleepovers and then we all got together again and had a huge breakfast. The kids swam and played all day.
