Fourth of July

Our Fourth of July was spent enjoying some of the usual American pastimes. Theresa came and stayed with the kids, which gave us a nice afternoon out and about. We went to see the movie "Transformers," which we both enjoyed. We decided that is was a good Fourth of July action-packed, check-your-brain-at-the-door, explosives fest and it was thoroughly entertaining. We went to the movie with a group of Shawn's co-workers, then had lunch before heading home for a quiet afternoon with the kids.

After the kids were in bed, Shawn's co-workers came over again and we played cards and darts until nearly midnight. We actually did pretty well this time, only losing about $20 between the two of us. The results are not always quite as good as that when we host a poker night.

Sadly, we did not see even a single bottle rocket. It didn't feel much like the Fourth and I missed having even sparklers or those little snake/pellet thingies. Oh well, maybe next year....
