I hope everybody had a fun Independence Day. It was unusually quiet around here this year...I don't know if they're cracking down harder on the personal fireworks, or if folks just didn't want to spend their money on it.We spent our 4th of July here at home. Natalia went swimming in the pool with her father while Nico took a nap and I tried to pick up the mess the two of them left behind.
In the evening we visited Jorge's tio and tia. They did get out and purchase a couple of packages of fireworks. We lit up one package, then had an hour or so intermission while the rain washed everything clean before we lit the other package. The kids enjoyed it (even Nico--as long as his ears were covered). Of course, his Uncle's dog tried to grab a lit firework...I've always seen dogs run away from fireworks. Needless to say, the dog was forced to wait inside until the fireworks were over. (Mind you, this is the same dog that would rather fetch rocks than balls.)
We're off to Jenny's 9th birthday party this afternoon. They had plans for a pool party, but it looks like those plans may get rained out. We'll see what we can come up with for an alternative!
The kids were having such a good time together last night, I decided it was a perfect time for an impromptu photo shoot.
Love to all!
