Let Freedom Ring

On the Fourth-of-July Rocco had swim lessons in the morning! He’s such a good little swimmer and did so well that day. Then we spent the day at Seth’s Aunt and Uncle’s house swimming and eating and having sooo much fun! Rocco loved playing in the Vines toy loft, where he found a doctor thing and went around trying to listen to everyone’s heart’. At one point that got a little awkward, but we’ll just skip over that story, LOL. When Grampa Freddy showed up both kids were beside themselves with excitement! They LOVED swimming with him--- I think he must be a better swim partner than me, because try as I might they never jump up and down with joy at the prospect of swimming around the pool with Mommy. Oh well!

I attempted to make a Raspberry/ Blueberry tart for the 4th of July. It was a fun idea and the tart tasted AMAZING! But to be perfectly honest it looked a real mess. I imagine everyone at first just tasted it because they felt sorry for me. Luckily the entire tart got eaten so I’m sure it was actually enjoyed, once tasted; Thank Goodness! I also tried making red, white and blue strawberries and they turned out looking cute; but honestly, I think the chocolate was disgusting! Never use Trader Joe’s high cocoa content white chocolate for dipping Strawberries, because honestly they were grotesque!

Unfortunately Seth had to be at the hospital that day so he wasn’t able to enjoy the festivities, but we still had fun and Seth was able to join us that night for watching fireworks at the park with friends and family!

Fireworks at the park were so much fun! We had a bunch of our friends meet us there and we all played games and ate yummy treats and did sparklers with the kids and then finally the fireworks started and we were able to enjoy them. At one point the sprinklers on the lawn turned on and when Seth ran to cover them with a bucket he slipped and got soaked from head to toe. It was so funny! He had to go home and change because he was so incredibly wet… Awesome sauce! Zeegan LOVED the fireworks! She sat on Seth’s lap with her mouth and eyes both WIDE open the entire show… Double Awesome sauce!!! It was so daRn cute!!!!
Happy Independence day all y’all!!!
