We made it back from the Pacific Northwest in time for 4th of July weekend.
Friday the 3rd of July, I watched hot air balloons even driving to a nearby park to see them closer and to get juggling videos and pictures.
Jet, Nichole, and I went to do a story trail at the new Delta Gateway Park. "How the Beaver Got His Tail" is one we read back in 2023.
Then we went to the library (libraries?) and picked up some Summer Reading prizes.
That day was Chocolate Wafer Day. Jr. Jr. told me, "We're having them after scripture study to remind us to never wafer in our faith."
Have I mentioned I love that kid?
The kids watched Pooh's Heffalump Movie to celebrate Drop a Rock Day and Eat Beans Day because rocks drop on the trap to catch the heffalump and Pooh ate jelly beans.
Saturday, the 4th of July, was the 250th birthday of the USA and our celebration of it was kind of chill.
We were still recovering from vacation so there were some naps going on.
I did look at the hot air balloons from our front lawn first thing in the morning.
Then it was time for sidewalk chalk before going in and relaxing.
It was Play Outside Day.
I did have a drink with a red, white, and blue straw.
For dinner we had hot dogs and salad with Caesar dressing because it was Caesar Salad Day.
The funny thing is a different day we needed to get ice cream for Nichole's birthday and ice cream was on sale so one of the types of ice cream we got was red, white, and blue ice cream. It was so good.
On Independence Day we heard no fireworks, no sirens, and no dogs barking. This year there was a fireworks ban because of too many fires.
We were planning on more activities, but I'm okay that it was kind of laid back.
Sunday, the 5th of July, the kids and I went out for an evening drive and saw the giant flag flying in Grove Creek Canyon. They used a different flag this year. This year it was a Betsy Ross flag, which you can't really tell in the pictures Nichole took as I was driving. Oh well.
