goodness - july already? well, before i get too far behind, i wanted to post a few pictures from the 4th...
as you can see, the day ended with a bang. but first, we started with a nice liesurely day around the house. then, a new soccer ball for adella and a trip to the park to break it in:
and then home for a nap (griff), splashy pool (adella), grocery store (stig), and puttering (me).
later, mom came over and we fixed some dinner:
and dessert (peach cobbler!)
with the excitement of the 'big fireworks' in mind, adella drew some pictures:
can you see? adella called it " a little girl wearing headphones on her ears because the fireworks are so loud," but that's not adella, apparently, because, "that kid doesn't have any hair!"
later, we trekked around downtown for a while, found a nice spot to throw our blanket, and waited for the show. adella did wear her headphones for a while, but eventually she started feeling braver and took them off.... lots of oohs and aaahs, and even a few monkey hoots from our brave girl. griffin liked the 'works too - and then he promptly fell asleep before we even made it back to the car.
a very long, fun day. yippee! happy july!
