Most folks go to fireworks and/or barbecues on the 4th of July. We hung around the house, playing computer games and doing projects until 5:30 then went to the neighborhood pool. We heard it had been crowded an hour or two prior, but there was only 1 family remaining by the time we arrived. The board had rented a giant inflatable slide and Little One had it all to herself, but, alas, she feels too grown-up for it. Had zero interest in even taking one little zip down it.
The other family left shortly afterwards and we had to entire place to ourselves. I am sure the lifeguards were wishing we would leave so they could take off a few minutes early -- not sure if they can -- or even if they would, they are all so sweet and responsible. Anyhoo, Little One patiently worked on my butterfly stroke (I speak of it as if it were actually in existence, which it really is not. I have the kick begun but no arms.)
I had gotten some Hebrew Nationals (kosher dogs) on sale and of course some Not Dogs but it was too hot for DH to fire up the grill so I cooked them on the griddle. The family loves them cooked that way. We ate dogs and hash browns on disposable flag plates and trooped to the LR to find a pay per view movie for the family to watch. We watched, "Dreamer," which I highly recommend to any family, and finally went outside at 10:15 for LO to do her sparklers.
She spontaneously started doing this FireDancer thing with her sparklers, she is such a hoot, and DH took pics.
Love that new camera.
