This Independence Day was very mellow for me, which is what I think our family needed. We had a nice easy morning, a trip to Target, followed by a trip to IKEA. We came home after that, and we all took a short nap. After that I went to the grocery store to buy some items for a barbecue, and had a really nice visit over the phone with Noelle while food shopping. When I arrived home, my parents, Barbara, and our good friends (Nate and Robin) were already there for the meal we had yet to prepare. We were kind of behind schedule, but everyone seemed to be in the laid-back mood we were, so it was no problem. We had a wonderful time visiting! Nate and Robin had to leave for another engagement for fireworks, but my parents and Barbara stayed.
The fireworks were great! Charlie and Sydney had about fifty sparklers to share between them, and enjoyed every moment of each sparklers life (which spanned about a minute). Charlie ran all over the driveway with great enthusiasm, while Sydney stood in one spot making round circles with her's. It was lot's of fun! We even were able to see some bigger fireworks, which was a treat, too.
