It was the perfect fourth of July. (Well except for the part where Punk nearly passed out and had to be ferried through town in a police car - but even that sounds worse than it was). First there was a parade for Punk & princesses, then a kiddie carnival, then root beer floats. We followed that up with a swim at Punk and Kooka's favorite summer hangout - Katie's pool. The day was made even more perfect by the fact that the city fireworks display was exploding right over our neighbor's house. Our front yard was the place to be - best seats in town. And we were extra happy that some of our very favorite friends (and Grandparents) could come to join us for star spangled cake, soda, and giant platters of taco dip. Punk and Kooka were in heaven!
It was a perfect fireworks show, but it has not escaped our attention that the city always SHOOTS the fireworks so the people in the new housing developments will have a great view, but they always POINT the fireworks towards our neighborhood, so if anything misfires or or tips over and explodes at least it won't hit anything important.

Sounds like a great day. Schroeder's dad and I watched the fireworks from our bedroom window (they are pointed our direction...sorry about the debris). I fell asleep before they were over! We wish we could have stopped by to visit but alas...a couple hours in the sun at a ball game and I was tired!
How is the toad?
