We took Alex to see fireworks last night for the first time. Jenny and Jim met up with us and we went to the Taste of Maplewood, which was basically a dinky festival with a band and some food vendors. We ate corndogs, fries, mini donuts, and ice cream and listened to the Lamont Cranston band for a little bit. The fireworks display was great and Alex absolutely loved it! He was so excited with everything going on and very intently watched the fireworks. He would clap and yell and say "Good Job!" It was such a fun night. We didn't get home until about midnight and he did just fine with that-crashed when his head hit the pillow. The rest of us stayed up until 2am playing cards. Of course, Alex woke up at his usual 7:30 so we're all a little sleepy today.
We also did some planting yesterday during the day around the tree in our back yard. We have some shrubs to put in today yet, so our plan is to work on that after dinner. It's pretty hot, so doing this when the sun is low is a better idea to me! We got the pop-up camper cleaned out today in preparation for camping next weekend. So, it's been a full weekend with a lot accomplished!
Hope everyone has had a nice weekend!!
