What a wonderful 4th of July we had this year! There were no burn bans in effect. We even bought some fireworks ourselves! But, most importantly, we were able to give of our time and energy to invite friends over for lunch to BBQ and take food over to some friends’ house who just moved into town. It was completely exhausting, but so worth it! I only wish we would have had a little more down time to enjoy the day together, but I’m so happy we were able to enjoy our day.
Our celebrations started off with us all having dinner on Tuesday, July 3rd and going outside to watch the fireworks in the cul-de-sac with our neighbors Sue Ann, Lee and DeAnna. We are able to see the fireworks display from Avery Ranch. The firework display didn’t last very long, but the boys were so thrilled. Julian was clapping and laughing…Tate was wide-eyed. It was so memorable!
The next day, we got up and got the house ready for guests. It wasn’t easy. Both boys were extra needy and active. Thomas and I were both attempting to wrap up some things — the yard, cooking, preparing the table, etc… and the boys seem to be on a path of destruction. Nevertheless, our guests, Anita and Jan, came and we had a nice time. Shortly after they left, we got ready and headed out the door to pick up Rudy’s and head over to Yasaswi and Dominique’s to welcome them to Austin. Their kids were so cute and our boys just loved them and had the best time.
On our way home, we saw a lot of fireworks from the highway and then picked up some fireworks for the kids to enjoy. There were only a few, but they were really fun and Tate thoroughly enjoyed them. Julian was asleep by then, of course.
All in all, we had a wonderful day! I am finding that the dog days of summer are getting to be more and more fun with these growing, funny, active boys. There is never a dull moment, but we manage to always have a blast. I love my little crew!
