Busy Busy

Dianne flew in July 1st to spend 11 days with us. We have been having a great time visiting and showing her the area. We have already been to the zoo, mountains, and a local Independence Day festival. We let the kids stay up past 8pm for the first time ever to see the fireworks. They both were so very excited. Once it started, Sam loved them but Evie got really upset and cried the whole time. She buried her head in a blanket and moaned through the whole thing. I finally got her to calm down a bit by talking to her and telling her everything that I was seeing. She would then argue with me that she didn't like the pretty colors, bright lights, pretty shapes, etc. It was actually pretty cute. Hopefully, next year she will handle it a bit better. Sam thought it was the greatest thing and keeps telling us he loves them.

I just wanted to drop a note that we are doing well, just having lots of fun with Grandma in town and staying very very busy. I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!
