Fourth of July

Our July Fourth was nothing to write home about. Tim had to work at noon and didn't end up getting off until nearly midnight and my sinuses led me to sleep in quite a bit. Thankful for my sweet husband for that.

Anyway, I made John and I lunch of baked beans, hot dogs and American flag cookies. We played awhile and then both took LONG naps. Too long in fact! We ended up being late to my parents' cook out.

We went to my parents and feasted on fresh fruit, brats for me and a hot dog for John (he doesn't get a lot of them, but it seemed like it this time) and Mom's homemade salsa. Unfortunately, between us being late and my mom working an eight hour shift earlier, we ended up going home pretty early.

I had dressed John in the cutest outfit. He has a pair of blue shorts with a flag on the side and a blue Old Navy flag tee on. So, I got out my camera. Ugh, battery dead! Doesn't it figure. Here's a few kind of crappy quality pictures from my cell.

Around the time the fireworks were to start, I grabbed a beer and John grabbed a juice and we sat outside. However, between the heat and the trees blocking our view, we ended up back in within fifteen minutes. However, we did enjoy the firework display from New York on TV. Later, we were in the kitchen and were treated to a small display we could see outside our back door.

Overall, it was an okay sort of day, but next year, I'm going to try to at least see the fireworks, even if it means going without Tim. I'm still trying to get used to his absence at things due to work. I need to become more in dependant.
