There's a gap in the treeline perfectly placed so we can see the city fireworks from our backyard.



The glow stick was more fun than the fireworks for Jack.  I don't think they have the same impact at this distance.  But for kids this young, you can't beat the convenience of watching in your pjs, waiting with toys and TV instead of a crowded lawn, and going straight to bed when they are done.



I call this one "Firework and a Crescent Moon."

Sam has a fever!  Poor guy was burning up when we got home from lunch.  After nap I gave him some chilled, watered down juice.

I noticed the blogger app failed to post a couple things. The last two posts are actually from 6/30 and 6/26.

There are strangers in my house today!

This week was water play at Creekside
Cubs.  Jack also told me they learned about water, such as "you shouldn't drink water from rivers. But you can eat the fish in rivers."  So wise.
