Today we celebrate our nation’s independence. In the tradition of generations before us, we ate hot dogs and corn on to cob. They were delicious. Later we are going to watch some fireworks. One of our pools is closed today and the other one is packed of kids, so we are skipping the pool for today. The girls go almost everyday as it is. We played Disney Scene-It and watched The Incredibles. It was a lot cooler in the house anyway. Well, that is about it. I hope everyone else had a nice holiday.
