We are having a not so traditional 4th of July, but we're spending it with family, so that's what matters, right? Because Steve always has to work at least a few hours on the 4th (it's cherry season, people!) we don't usually go anywhere far. Usually we drive up to the hills for picnicking and hiking. But this year we felt like staying home. Yesterday I helped the kids (C, B, O) do some tye dye shirts, which I think turned out pretty cute. When Steve got off work today, we drove to a U-Pick Blueberry farm. Unfortunately they were closed! So plan B: we took KFC to the park. After Cass and Bray got slightly sick on the tire swing (Steve pushed them really really hard) we went to the movie "National Museum II." Pretty funny and nice in the air conditioned theater, since it's 98 degrees today. After ice cream cones, we headed home for some swimming by the kids and a BBQ and fireworks later. Good times!
