We had such a blast over the long July 4th weekend! To me, it felt
like the epitome of summer. The perfect blend of sun screen slathered, dirt
covered, water balloon soaked, sweaty little kids with gigantic smiles and late
bed times.
Time spent with family and friends paired
nicely with fantastic food and icy cold adult beverages.
There was light rain but mostly the sun
was shining and the typical oppressive summer heat was replaced with 80's and
mild breezes.
Lastly, the enjoyment of fireworks being
ignited from the street with kids at the perfect ages to shriek with excitement
at every fountain or sparkler being lit.
While all of this was almost too good to
be true, it was a proclamation from my son that took it all over the edge to
down-right perfection. He wasn't speaking to anyone in particular he just
simply blurted out with all the five year old enthusiasm he could muster...
"This is the BEST 4th of July, EVER!!"
I might have to agree with him. I'm
already looking forward to next year!
