All dressed up, they sure don't look sick do they!
Pretty sure we had everything working against us this year. First off, my kids were throwing up the day before and still pretty under the weather the day of the fourth. Second, our down stairs air conditioner went out for a good 4 hours so we were sweating for a bit. Next my blow dryer gave up after 3 good years of service but did not last long enough for me to finish my hair, bun day was decided. And I would say the weather was a pretty good reason for concern, thank goodness the rain let up in time for a great firework display in Boulder City. We scrapped all our usual plans this year so no parade and no BBQ, we just rested in order to feel good enough to go watch fireworks. When we finally got out to Boulder City the weather was absolutly beautiful, thanks to the rain storm and we were sitting in the grass enjoying the cool breeze watching the kids play. The fireworks were awesome as usual so big and pretty and right over our heads. The only hiccup was the fact that Natalie threw up all over me about one minute into the show. Oh well, there was no way we were going to have a happy ending with all the bad omens we were having so I kinda knew it was coming! All in all even with all the bad, I will probably forget all of that and the 4th still can be considered one of my favortie days of the year and I hope I am building enough excitement for my kids so they love this day as much as me one day.
