Tuesday/4th of July

Happy independence day to those that celebrate 🇺🇸. What are we all up to today? Did you do anything fun yesterday?

Yesterday we went to the park side of a fest to have a picnic and watch fireworks - one of my favorite things to do in the whole wide world. We make it a "just our family" thing and have been doing it since DH and I were dating. We usually sit on a street by some stores. Last year though, the stores closed early and there went our bathroom so we decided to try the golf course location this time with porta potties. It was better for that reason but the fireworks were further away unfortunately. Also, a family behind us lost their 4yo (he wandered off on his own) and he ended up at the police tent of the fest. The father was talking about picking him up (after the portable lights go back on) the whole display and it upset me to the point of ruining my experience. Scary business. I held the sleeping A on my lap a little tighter.

Today my parents and sister come over for a barbeque and to go watch fireworks in our home town. The BEST fireworks display ever!! And I've made it a point to see a lot of towns' fireworks! 🎆 To all us Americans: have a fun, safe holiday!

Yikes dreemkin glad the kid was okay.

Yesterday was busy and HOT. Went to the zoo with SIL and her family. G could've stayed in the reptile house all day. Made it back home in time for me to go to yoga :-)

Today's plans are yoga then going to my ILs for swimming and grilling.

Scary dreemkin. We did fireworks last night and DD did great. She was watching them then a really loud one went off so she cuddled in a little closer but then went back to watching them again. More fireworks tonight!

G is napping; we're still at the ILs. I was looking forward to some relaxing pool time while the kids slept but SIL decided not to deal with trying to put her two down, so there are still toddlers in the pool.

I guess technically one will be a preschooler next month. Eek!

Grilling out with the in-laws. We go home tomorrow. BIL and SIL left this morning. We leave tomorrow. It's been an tiring vacation for mainly sitting around and trying to keep a small child entertained with limited things. MIL had a lot of toys at her house since they watch a great grandkid once a week, but FIL doesn't have such things.

Happy 4th! We made it to the pool this morning but otherwise it's been a pretty boring day around here. We are planning to keep S up to watch fireworks from our deck, we shall see if she makes it since she had a short nap today.
