Happy 4th of July

It has been a wet and gloomy weekend and yesterday wasn't any better. Typically, we spend the 4th of July at church camp or at Nenny and Papa Donnie's for a cookout. Since we've only been home from vacation for a week now, Nenny didn't have her cookout and we decided to pass on church camp.

So, it was a laid back, rainy 4th, spent relaxing at home. We got slushies, did some "boom!" firework paintings, made some festive snacks (Rice Krispy treats and Jell-o ice cubes), and had a yummy cookout with Tse Tse, pop-its and sparklers. We had planned on letting you stay up for fireworks, but you're back to boycotting naps and were exhausted. Plus, a few fireworks went off on Friday and you were more than terrified Ryan. So, it was off to bed and you slept right through our neighbor's incredibly loud (and long) firework show. (Part of me was hoping you'd wake up, Wiley, because you love the fireworks. No such luck - it had been a long day and you needed your sleep.)

All in all, a wonderful and relaxed holiday spent at home.
