Fourth of July


We really enjoyed a Fourth of July party hosted by our neighbors up the street. Lots of kids were very excited by sparklers and pop-its and especially the rockets that launch, explode, and send a plastic army man parachuting down.

Oliver and Zaeda wanted to bring their bikes so they could ride around with the other kids.

Meanwhile, we have some new next-door neighbors, including two boys exactly Oliver and Zaeda's ages. The boys do a lot of yelling and toy sharing over the fence.  They often come over to play, as they did on this early July day when we set up a sprinkler.

Hold this sprinkler. I swear I won't turn it on.






*Editor's note:  Jenny has just clarified that in the first photo she was taking away a firework that I had handed that child.
