July 4, 2013

The week of July 4th was unseasonably cool & rainy. We enjoyed this break...however it did hamper our plans for frequenting the pool for an evening swim. There were little thunderstorm surprises nearly every evening. We watched the 4th of July parade with friends along Main Street in downtown Round Rock. The boys were fascinated by the bagpipes, marching bands, motorcycles & candy throwing. We missed seeing Mr. Curtis on stilts this year. Benjamin sure loved seeing that a few years ago.

Jax, Jory & Travis stayed for lunch after Sunday meeting.  The kids all had a grand time playing trains together.

We opted to stay home on July 4...Trevin had been begging to do fireworks, but as usual, he didn't really understand it. The whole experience of  was almost to much for him. The poppers were nearly too loud & he was so scared the sparklers were going to make a fire at our house.  He finally calmed down & enjoyed standing next to Benjamin & copying whatever his big brother was doing.
