The 4th of July seemed to begin on the 2nd of July this year and s-t-r-e-t-c-h all the way through the 4th! We started celebrating with a family gathering at my nieces new house and proceeded to unload 2 large trucks full of furniture. I worked in the kitchen helping to unload box after box after box and finding places for every dish, glass, bowl, pan, and kitchen gadget under the sun. We all had a grand time cleaning, eating, unpacking, and laughing together.The following evening we went to Burlington's Waterfront Park to listen to music and watch the sensational fireworks. While we were waiting the seagulls and ducks performed a few acts of their own. Alita managed to snap this picture of a seagull blocking out the sun. Pretty neat!!
Alita was hard at work in the kitchen the next morning creating mini cupcakes which she frosted to resemble the American flag. They were almost to good to eat . . . somehow we managed to empty the tray before the day was done.
When you're at the library look for this funny book about a stubborn mule who almost ruins the 4th of July Jake Johnson: The Story of a Mule .
