Happy 4th of July!



A little different from our usual 4th of July celebrations, this year we (just) watched fireworks set off from the Barrows; usually Sean is one of the ones lighting the wick. A great display & certainly some new ones we've never seen before. Brooklyn spent most of the afternoon/evening swimming with family & friends & I was surprised she stayed awake for the fireworks. Dylan was awake for the first few, hands shaking with excited as he searched the sky for the next one. Eventually he fell asleep & stayed that way, even with 3 inch shells going off just above him. (yes peeps, I covered his ears.) Mimi had made a dessert for her to try with cooked milk; her first trial with her ever so slight milk allergy now. She took a bite or two, but then wanted to head back out & swim.
