As usual this year, Bronze had to work on Independence Day. I decided that the kids and I weren't going to let it get us down this year and that we would just have to start celebrating while we were waiting for him to get off work. We started off by getting out to take Bronze and the guy working with him an early lunch around 11. After that I surprise the kids by taking them to a firework tent, they have been extremely excited this year, especially the older two, with the prospect of doing fireworks and had been asking about them since they had seen the tents go up. We did have a little bit of difficulty actually finding a tent because many of them had been blown away in a crazy wind storm we had the day after they started selling. Once we found a place and picked up our little supply, courtesy of Mimi and Grandpa, I decided to surprise the kids by taking them to the park to run around and play for a while. They had a great time and after an hour or so I let them each get out a box of poppers to throw on a big concrete pad that was there. We finished up our time at the park by eating lunch and running around for another 15 minutes then we came home for a rest time. Bronze had an ok route and was able to get off at a decent time so once he got home we went to my parents house for dinner and to shoot off our fireworks. We had a wonderful day and are thankful to be in a country where we have the freedom to celebrate our independence.
