We had our typical 4th of July, and so far it is fantastic.
Today we did some things around the house (next post), and then headed to Frontier Park in St. Charles to watch the big fireworks.
The weather was AMAZING. There is little humidity, and it was almost cool. The kids rode carnival rides, and we ate funnel cake. Colin talked to me about Minecraft, Kevin read his book (He is reading the I Am Number Four series), and Gwyn just wandered around talking and whining. We even brought corn hole, so Kevin and I played that for about 45 minutes.
Tomorrow we are continuing the tradition of setting off fireworks and inviting neighbors. It started when the boys were pretty little and they went door-to-door inviting the houses around us. We did that for two years, and then figured the neighbors were tired of our kids. But the third year, a few neighbors asked us why they weren't invited. So it continues. I will spend some time making red, white and blue food with the kids, and Kevin will clean the house. This year I am not making strawberries. (They are so good.) But I am trying red, white and blue jello cups, chocolate covered pretzels, and rice krispie treats. No big deal, but a fun tradition for me and the kids.
I hope you have a great holiday!
