It was a full day's work, but thankfully the weather was relatively mild for July in Kansas. It was more bearable to work in 80 degree weather than the typical July temperatures in the 100's. Ryan finished digging the trenches for the drainage tubes. I put the plants in and mulched.
We did try to squeeze in a little bit of celebration by grilling out, a patriotic dessert and letting the kids play in the sprinkler.
Since that wasn't enough of a Fourth of July Celebration we joined our neighbor's block party to watch them light fireworks. We even had some of our own. Ryan showed Aric how to use a punk. After that Aric continuously lit fireworks. We didn't buy any fireworks this year, but had enough small fireworks leftover from previous celebrations to satisfy Aric. I can already tell that we will need to make a trip to the firework tent next year.
Kellyn ditched us most of the night to go hang out with "the girls" as she called them.
She returned for the important parts of the night: sparklers, hunger, thirst, and bathroom breaks. I'm already seeing visions of how her teenage years will be.
Today we will be resting and recovering from the soccer game, backyard projects, and all of our fun this week. I don't think I can handle any more fun.
