Fourth of July Round Up

We came come from the fair, lit some citronella candles on the balcony, and oohed and aahed over the fireworks.  It was kind of chilly, so we wrapped up in a blanket, sweatshirts, and giggled about cold weather in July.  When they were finished, I clapped and laughed and Dr. BB rolled his eyes, but I could tell he was happy with my enthusiasm.

Saturday we drove down to the in-laws, watched the kids engage in water play on the Slip 'n' Slide, ate way too many brats and peanut M&Ms, played in the driveway with tricycles and scooters. Once the kids were sent on their way to pass out in their carseats and beds, we went with my mother- and father-in-law, set up lawn chairs on the top of a parking garage (again with the sweatshirts!), and watched giant fireworks over the Mississippi River.
