Happy 4th of July!!!

Happy 4th of July!! What a day it was here in NY. Cold and rainy. Not the summer day you would imagine. We went to a picnic in honor of Amanda's graduation. It was very nice! The kids didn't care about the rain. They played softball and all sorts of things outside.
We decided to skip the fireworks because it was raining. Instead, we let some off in the backyard. We bought them last year in Myrtle Beach. We had fun watching them, but Colby didn't like the noise.
We also lit some sparklers!! Samantha and Will enjoyed them. Colby was scared and wouldn't go near them...! But Sam and Will lit quite a few. Eventually they were swinging them around, making all sorts of shapes! Pretty cool! I tried to take pictures but I couldn't figure out how to get a good one. I like these enough though.
Hard to believe we're almost done with our second week of summer. Where does the time go? The kids have enjoyed playing in pool, and with their friend Desiree. Next week starts summer camp, and Summer School for Colby. Should be interesting, he really doesn't want to go.
Also hard to believe it is almost my birthday... I don't want to turn 30! No no no! I guess I'll turn 29 again. :)
