We ended up spending 2 days with friends this week. Mady leaves to visit with some family, for a month, tomorrow. Even though we wanted a quiet week @ home just visiting with our cousin Danielle, Mady needed to see some of her friends one more time. Of course when we left there was a silent protest for us not to go which ended with us leaving anyway.
So Tuesday and Wednesday were spent with the family in the evenings and Thursday we went to do a science experiment with some more of our friends. Mady and Ezra played in the cornstarch all afternoon while Niki and Luke chose to test it out for a few minutes and then clean up and play in the multitudes of toys in the Rebecca's garage! 4th of July came and we thought the fireworks ban had been put in place. A quick call to the courthouse cleared up the misinformation and we were off to purchase a small fortune in gun powder filled, exploding cardboard! We hung out with the family while watching our own fireworks show which ended up lasting 2 hours! We had a few technical difficulties...and Ezra and Luke difficulties...and wind difficulties. Ok it wasn't smooth sailing but we all had a blast! Family traditions are a major part of our extended family life as well as just plain fun to do. Dom took the girls to watch a movie this afternoon then onto Home Depot for some math lessons, which is actually measuring for a backyard deck.

Sounds like a busy week. Glad you got to do fireworks after all! It isn't allowed in Tarrant county, but we were kept up all night with them anyway!
I'm so glad that you ended up getting to do some fireworks!!! I was VERY disappointed in our fireworks experience this year. I'm with you about the family traditions. My family may make me crazy, but I sure missed our tradition of being together in Iowa to watch the fireworks over the lake.
