Fourth of July

We had the best independence day. We spent the day in Seattle at my aunts house. We ate hamburgers, hot dogs, and salad Mike made from vegetables in his garden. (He has become quite the gardener). I really love the 4th. I am so thankful that I get to live in America and for all the wonderful men and women who have fought for my rights. 

After dinner, we walked around green lake and got Froyo. It was my first time to ever have it. I loved it. We even went back for a second time this weekend. I felt pretty lucky because my Uncle invited us to watch the fireworks from his office building in downtown. It was really awesome because we beat most of the traffic and still had a wonderful view of the fireworks. It stays light here so late that they didn't start the fireworks until 10:30PM. After the fireworks show, we went home and played with our sparklers. Oh how I love them. The best part of the night was my 6 year old cousin telling me this is her favorite holiday. I love how simple kids are. They are so easily entertained and find the little things grand. I so wish I could be more like that. 

We also watched Despicable me. I liked it a lot. I am really wanting to see Monsters University. I loved Monsters Inc. I am hoping I can drag Mike there next weekend to go see it. I am headed home next weekend for my sister's shower :) I am so excited! I can't wait to see how big her tummy has gotten.
