Happy [belated] 4th of July!!!!!

Hello All,

Happy Independence Day to everyone!!! I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday!

This year, for the 4th of July, we were very laid back. On July 3rd at 8pm we went to Symphony on the Prairie! They were having a 4th of July celebration. They sang songs like; 76 Trombones, God Bless America and the National Anthem. We brought our dinner and had a picnic, us kids played tag...a lot, we looked at Howitzers [which are large canons], enjoyed the music, and watched the fireworks display at the end! Before they did the fireworks they fired the canons with blanks! It was very loud! Then we all went back to our blanket and watched the fireworks!

On 4th of July, we woke up to rain. Not a pleasant feeling when its supposed to be 90 and burning, but instead its 60, cold and rainy. But we still went to a parade. We got candy. [which is a major part of the parade, or else there would be no purpose]
After the parade, we went home and chilled. Grandma and Grandpa came over, we had lunch and then the girls went to go see Kit Kitteredge! [A very good movie, I might add] Aaron had a game at 6 and we all went to watch that. His team won 13-1! Then we all went out for ice cream at DQ, then went to a nearby parking lot and watched fireworks.
That's all for the 4th of July, not very interesting. But fun.

Grandma and Grandpa left yesterday after Aaron's game at 4. [which he won that one too] Today he has a tournament. Joy. A game at noon, and if they win that, at 4, and if they win that, they go to the championship. So we are all getting ready for a day at the baseball fields. But I don't mind, I like baseball!

Bye!!!! Have a good 4th of July weekend!!!!
