Happy Independence Day!! This weekend has been all kinds of fun! Yesterday, Ryan took the day off and he, Colby, Meredith, and I went to the water park for the first time this summer. The water was freezing!! Colby had a blast as usual, but Meredith was just too tired. She started out strong but faded over the next couple hours, so we only stayed for a little while.

Today was a busy day. We celebrated the holiday with cleaning and house maintenance. Ryan mowed the lawn and hung out clothes while I washed them and tried to entertain the girls. Colby spent most of the afternoon doing man work outside, following Ryan pushing the push mower with his own makeshift mower (a play grocery cart) behind him. Ryan said the neighbor drove by and he could see her laughing at them. I made lunch, and also some poppyseed chicken to eat on next week, as well as the fixins for a couple lasagnas to go in the freezer.

We're passing on the fireworks this year since it rained this afternoon and the forecast was for it to continue into the evening. We would like to have gone to the WKU extravaganza, but are just too tired and don't feel like being killed by an irresponsible drunk driver (it is the Fourth, you know). Safest to stay home, haha!

Well, the thunder is rolling, which solidifies our decision to skip the works and stay home. Happy Fourth!!
