Happy 4th!

4th_Page_0

Our 4th of July weekend turned out to be not as expected, but it was still fun.  Our upstairs A/C unit picked a great time to act up—Friday going into a holiday weekend.  It was a cool 88 degrees (according to the thermostat), but had to be at least 90+ in the kid’s bedrooms (I had the doors closed).  And, then the downstairs A/C was working overtime trying to cool the house (it was 82 downstairs) and was running constantly.  I was very hot, and after calling around to several A/C companies, no one would come out until Tuesday.  Thankfully, we found someone through my brother-in-law.  He came Saturday morning, and got it working again.  What would we do without air conditioning?

Saturday morning we went to the annual neighborhood parade.  The kids had fun watching the parade, eating breakfast kolaches, and getting their faces painted / tattooed.  Sterling even got to check out a fire truck.

Later Saturday afternoon, the kid’s and I headed to my parent’s house.  We enjoyed the afternoon with them, along with good food.  Juan met up with us later.  Avery and Sterling were very excited about watching the fireworks on the river near Gaga and Pa’s house.  As we were heading down to the river, we learned that the fireworks had been cancelled due to a grass fire.  All the firefighters were fighting the fire.  It really is dry everywhere.  How badly we need rain!  So, we headed home.  I also got pulled over for speeding on the way home.  Thank goodness I got off with a warning!
