Independence Day

Hope yours was celebratory! Ours included...

~ fireworks at the river last night during which Rafe lay face down on the blanket with his hands over his ears chanting, "I want to go home now!"

~ the annual parade in town this morning, clocking in this year at almost an hour and a half and consisting of the usual farm implements, classic cars, and fair queen candidates. The kids caught enough candy to hold them until Halloween.

~ a cookout here with my family. My dad brought firewood and made me a fire so I could have roasted hot dogs...been craving them all summer!

~ still had a fire about 10:00 tonight, so Olivia, Rafe and I made s'mores. Or as Rafe calls them, snores.

Happy 4th of July, everyone!
