Day 1429 | 4th of July

Happy Independence Day! It was kind of a weird day around here. No plans with family and the heat + rain kept us indoors a lot, but is was still a good day with our little family.

Here's what did keep us busy today:

• A walk to the farmer's market for sugar snap peas
• A stop for ice cream
• A trip to the mall to try out the new Indian restaurant (at the food court, obviously). We also stopped at the mall play place and the toy store. As a side, the mall is super busy on the 4th of July. Who would have known?
• A movie date to watch Charlotte's Web (we just finished the book)
• Constant surveillance of our cup of caterpillars (they all turned into chrysalises today--all four of them!).
• A backyard fireworks display (when it was still light outside). Based on how loud the boys thought this display was, I think we've got another couple of years before we attempt the real deal.

There you go. Busy, but low key all at the same time. 

**And a throwback to last year. At least the boys are consistent.
