July 4th

For the first time in longer than I can remember, we don't have cement plans for July 4th. It's mainly because everyone is working. And it's supposed to rain all day. Of course, they said that today and we spent all day out in the yummy sunshine.

We have plenty of options, but for one reason or another they all seem wrong for us. We could go up to the park where Dan is working and watch fireworks and have a little picnic. It would be a way of sort of spending the holiday with Dan, but I'm not sure a little bit of Daddy wouldn't be worse than no Daddy at all. There are at least 3 city celebrations close to us that sound promising. I'm just not sure Daniel would enjoy all the noise and crowds at his age. Two of them are within 5 minutes from our house, so we could just head over on whim if we decide to. And head home just as quickly if we aren't having any fun. Then, there is always the option of forcing ourselves on Nanny & Papa and that delicious pool if the weather holds up. Papa is always on Daniel's top 10 list and he never has bad time with him. I'm sure that even though they say they aren't planning anything we will all gravitate over there anyway and it will turn out to be a big party like it always is.

I guess I've made a decision and we have plans after all!
