We had another fun Fourth of July this year. Gus spent half of last week at scout camp (not fun for me), and we were so happy to have him come back on Saturday morning. KA and MJ came over and made a tasty breakfast - I loved the turkey bacon! (with cottage cheese, of course) - and then they took Lilly swimming that afternoon. Gus spent most of his time cleaning out the car from all those dirty scouts.
Saturday night I was feeling okay enough to go with Gus and Lilly to see the fireworks at Fairfax High School. We packed goodies, blankets and pillows in the back of the car and headed off to find a good viewing spot for the festivities. We had to drive around for a little bit before we finally found a decent spot, but once we did we laid the back seat down and Lilly loved snuggling with Kat in the blankets. She thought the fireworks were pretty cool for about the first five minutes or so, but then some Asians with a large basset hound stole the show - she just really wanted to pet that dog! We ended up leaving long before the firework show was over, which was really nice because we beat the traffic and made it home in about four minutes.
I almost vomited looking at the food in this sign...
But seriously, thank you Kawata Sushi for letting us use your parking lot.

Your new baby counter looks like those are Siamese twins in your belly, please tell me that's not true.
We did pretty much the same thing on the Forth. We went to the local park and watched fireworks. Andrew screamed, "USA!!!!" at the very end.
It was special.
That sign makes me sick and I'm not even pregnant.
We were remembering that we spent the 4th with you guys last year. Remember it rained and we watched the fireworks for a quick second under an umbrella?
Love you, Jenny.
