Happy 4th of July everyone! Today was an absolutely gorgeous day. I don't think we ever saw the sun. The clouds provided protection and shade. I got the idea that it would be fun to go to the park and play kickball today. I also wanted James to make steak and gravy either today or tomorrow so yes, you guessed it, I made another trip to Walmart. I bought a soccer ball, steak, and biscuits and somehow ended up spending over $100. I thought for sure everyone would want to join me in my game of kickball but Trina, Darrel, Addy, Rowan and Ruby were the only takers. The big boys would rather play video games or just watch TV. We went to the park and had alot of fun. It was a little chilly but I loved it! Addy was a little concerned that we were using a soccer ball to play kick ball so we had to play a little soccer too.
The kids also had fun playing in the park.
Look at the sky.
Kim arrived in time this evening to have dinner with us. We had hamburgers, Busch beans, corn, chicken and salad. Darrel and Trina's kids were so excited to see Kim they gave her a royal welcome. It rained pretty hard this evening so we opted to stay home instead of going out to see fireworks.
I have Trina hooked on Downton Abbey and we watched another episode this evening while the kids watched The Wizard of Oz.
