We started out the evening before the 4th with a movie in the park.
I’m not one to do outings like this. I would rather stay home, but this little boy loves to be out and about. We found a spot in the park, set up the chairs and two minutes later Eli took Paul’s chair and was ready for the movie!
We brought snacks. Lots of snacks for me to stay awake, ha!
Eli’s best friend came and joined us.
The next morning I talked Paul into coming back into town to watch the F16 fly by. They never came!
Went to my parents for a BBQ. Eli has been loving hotdogs lately. My veggie burger on a hotdog bun looks like slop, but it was very tasty.
We watched a little Jurassic Park. I know fitting for the 4th. Although Eli was saying this was a fake movie, we fast forward the scary parts anyway.
We made homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream. Again, looks like slop, but I didn’t want a lot of ice cream. Trying to eat well. I ate so well, I came back 3-4 times for more ice cream. I might as well just filled it up!
Paul came just in time for fireworks. Remember the days when we had to go to the city park to see the ‘big’ fireworks? The sky was lit up everywhere with everyone shooting off their fireworks.
A fun filled weekend.
