We had planned to play with Paul's new birthday toy, an animal water park, but the timing wasn't right. We waited an extra couple days to have a hot summer day. Unfortunate for Paul, he was taking a nap when we tried it out. Hey--we were just working the kinks out for him. :)
It's so fun to celebrate close birthdays. We sent out best wishes to Grandma Charlotte by splashing in the new wading pool!The best tribute to our country's birthday were our cleomes (or spider plant). They were in full bloom and really seemed to be exploding on the 4th of July.
Even though it was a rainy day we got to enjoy the best amateur firework show ever. The neighbors up the street put on an incredible show. It reminded me of blowing up old tin cans on the porch in McCall with my dad--not quite the same caliber, of course, but definitely that same spirit of celebration!

Oh I miss your guys' cookouts/dinner and card parties :) We were playing with another couple the a bit ago and it brought back good memories.
