Fourth of July

Our Fourth of July was pretty uneventful. We missed the town parade but it was too hot outside for us anyway. The new houses blocked our view so we walked down to the golf course to stake out the best viewing advantage. However, before the fireworks even began, I had donated a pint of blood to our local mosquitoes, so we decided to take the cubs home before they became mosquito dessert. On the way home we ran into our neighbors (they have 3 year old twin boys) and they offered to let us watch the fireworks with them from their backyard (wine and mosquito repellent included). Awesome! Zach loved the fireworks! Emily took a little more convincing...she spent a majority of the time with her head buried in Dad's shoulder. Every now and then I saw her peeking through her fingers. Steve and I both agreed for such a small town, the fireworks show this year was pretty impressive.
