The Fourth of July!

The Fourth of July was hot this year but we managed to pack in a lot of activities anyway! I made a red, white and blue breakfast-blueberry muffins to go with yogurt topped with raspberries and blueberries. While the kids ate, I went on a 5 mile run with Pat accompanying me on his bike. It's so nice to have company to pass the time! Then we headed out for our first socially distant visit/lunch with my parents since quarantine started. It was exciting to see them but a little sad that the visit couldn't be the same as it used to be. I think I was overly careful with how we interacted but that's a good thing! After that, we headed home and relaxed for a couple hours before we went to play some tennis. Then we made ourselves burgers on the grill and ate while we watched Hamilton! I think we all loved it although Owen was a little restless with every thing being sung. By this time it was dark and time for sparklers!! We had fun running around the yard and while we were outside we really got a chance to hear how many people were setting off their own fireworks. We decided to hop into the van and try to find some. We found a decent spot where we could see two different sets going off and then headed home pretty exhausted!

Summary-breakfast, run, visit, lunch, lounging, tennis, dinner, Hamilton, sparklers, fireworks, bed.

Socially distant picture, I'm impressed we got everyone in!

Sparklers!

More sparklers!


We sat on the windowsills of the van to get a better look at the fireworks
