On and around July 4th

The last couple of weeks have been miserable with triple digit weather. Add to that a huge storm and loss of power and you start going a little crazy. Fortunately, our power came on fairy quickly (1 day later), especially compared to some of our friends. So, we all tried to stay cool together. The 4th was lots of fun. There's nothing better than homemade peppermint ice cream! We went to a new place this year to enjoy the fireworks and the kids absolutely loved it. They are always so happy when they are able to do fun things with friends. Making a festive garland
