Did you have a nice Fourth?

We had one of the most relaxing ones ever. We did absolutely nothing. I made hotdogs for lunch and grilled hamburgers for dinner. Easy peasey. Later in the evening my husband took the three little ones out to watch the fireworks. The bigger kids didn’t want to go. I think three days without electricty left everyone with zero desire to go out into the heat voluntarily.

Fridays in summer are our day to go on field trips. One of the first ones that we did was the botanical garden down the road from our home. It was a gorgeous day and you can see more of the pictures here.

But it is also a calm and tranquil place. After the weekend with out power I am really craving calm and tranquil.
