Today jon had off because it is the 4th of july! We had a very lazy day. Jon went on a bike ride in the morning, and we played pokemon together for a while, other than that we hung out at home and relaxed. In the late afternoon i made a trifle and we headed over to mom and dads. The kids went swimming for a while until the other guests arrived. We had dinner and dessert in good company. Once it got dark, grandpa got out the sparklers. The kids loved them. Wes was a bit worried about the safety of them at first but got into the spirit of things one he tried it out. James and elinor loved it from the first mention of fire. Elinor got a little over enthusiastic and tripped and fell twice while fire dancing, but didnt get burned and was fine. Finaly around 8:30 it was time to head over to the park for fireworks. I had a bad headache so decided to stay home. We asked james if he wanted to see the fireworks or fo to bed with mommy. At first he wanted the fireworks, then someone in the neighborhood set off a small firework and he changed his mind. He covered his ears, ran to me and said "fire too loud, hurts my ears". Another went off and he said "hurry, run, go to house!" So he came inside with me and happily went straight to bed. He was sound asleep within min. The big kids said the fireworks were awesome.
