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!

    What a wonderful way to spend the Fourth in small town America.The length of the parade is impressive. In one small town we lived in, all the people were IN THE PARADE…leaving no one to WATCH THE PARADE. It was actually hilarious.

  3. Genie – I’ve been living on faux s’mores made in the microwave for far too long!Suzanne – I know you would LOVE our parade 🙂
