Merry Independence Day! Leander did a firework show on the 3rd of July, and a friend in the ward has a house that looks out over the park they do fireworks at. Conveniently, they also live on the opposite side from where the park and high traffic is. A few people from the ward met up on their driveway to watch the firework show, and we joined them! It was a lot of fun, and the fireworks did not disappoint.
I found a video of the kids cleaning the house. Nice to see them helping, but I don't know that Brooke needs 3 dusting mitts. That said, they're all on a surface, so maybe she's just 3x more effective than I am at this.
Jelly has been really pushing to get outside recently. She'll just stare out the back door and meow all the time. I guess it's working for her though, and usually when she gets out there she just chews on some grass for a bit before coming back inside.
Grayson's been past naps for quite a while, however, that doesn't mean he doesn't need them from time to time. His room is typically an unacceptable location though, so here he is on our bed.
Brooke and I went to run some errands and buy fireworks on the 3rd, and while we were out we saw a Lamborghini! Oh yes, lovely to drive by!
Here is a picture and a video from the fireworks on the 3rd.
On the 4th of July Monica kept food themed around red, white and blue. Lunch was a particularly pleasing spread to see! Nice job Monica!
Jelly found my water shoes this past week and I guess she's got a love hate relationship with them. It was pretty fun to watch her rubbing and attacking my shoe. I don't feel like she does stuff like this too much, so it's pretty entertaining.
Here are the kids outside for fireworks on the 4th. They had been playing in our splash pad in the backyard after dinner while waiting. We bought mostly fountains because I thought the kids would like those most, but they really liked the ground flowers, and I did get an aerial for the finale.
Monica and I went to a fancy restaurant for date night Friday night. It was a Brazilian place, so a lot of different meats, and a really nice salad bar. It was good eating, and fun to try something new.
Afterwards we attempted to walk some of the food off at the mall. We mostly just wandered the main hall to see what was there, but did go in a few places that caught our interest. Mostly clothing places, but there was a nice souvenir shop that was mostly geared towards Asian items, but there was also this beauty there.
We had a big rain storm on Saturday. I think it's the heaviest rain we've had, at least that we've been awake for. Our front yard has never flooded more than this, and we had quite the waterfall off our roof too!
Monica's worked to finish up Grayson's room. He's getting dinosaurs on the wall! They're looking pretty awesome, and Grayson even helped paint the brachiosaurus for a bit.
