Happy Fourth of July long weekend! I can hear fireworks being shot off as I write this. In a scene that was no doubt played out millions of times around the country today, we took the boys to a small festival in a local town. They got their faces painted and had free balloons given to them. We listened to a 50s cover band (which was actually quite good) and ate ice cream and had a generally wonderful time.
Tonight, we were all sitting outside. I was looking at a magazine, Bernie was reading a book, and the boys were working together on a Lincoln Log house (which they did not want me to dismantle and is now sitting on our back deck!). It was just such a great moment. The weather was perfect with a cool breeze blowing and everyone was happy. You just have to stop and thank God for moments like that!
