This week the two youngest were at an art class. The museum has great ones for all youth. They were a little late the last day when our van gave out, but made it in time to finish projects for the reception at the end of class. The themes of the classes were superheroes and myths. To the right are a few of the youngest's projects. And above is a bear made by the middle child.
On the Fourth we went to our local festivities. A morning event is a parade for the kids.
Later we had lunch on the deck. We are enjoying the new deck furniture that we purchased earlier this summer. It is an improvement over the Little Tykes decor we used to have.
Here is another tradition--a flag cake made by the kids. (Please excuse the dog toy collection on display in the background!) The cake is pound cake and the "frosting" is Cool Whip. There are more berries in the cake. The youngest made sure there were 50 blueberries for the stars.
Some of us just flip for the Fourth!
After a dinner inside due to the rain, we went to listen to hubby/dad play his trombone with the community jazz band.
Sorry, no pictures of the fireworks! They were spectacular though. We sit on the beach and watched them get shot off across the lake. It is fun to visit with friends and neighbors while we wait for it to get dark. Time to enjoy the rest of the summer! I predict that Target will have its first back to school ad next weekend.
