We stuck close to home for the 4th this year. We usually do something with Derek's family but with Grammy Baker being out of town for the holiday we did our own thing. We had a few invitations to the beach but that was not an option because of Nathan (post coming about the who, what, where, when of this)
We decided to relax at home in the morning and then in the afternoon we hit the movies to Wall-E. Cute movie but not my favorite Pixar. It didn't help that I was terribly tired (anyone have some sleep aid helps - I'm just not sleeping at night)
We tried yet another of the multitude of frozen yogurt shops that are opening all around us. I can't even remember the name of it which doesn't really matter since I'm totally a G Spoon gal. I really do like Golden Spoon better then all the others. The one place G Spoon could improve is in their decor - the red & gold are not my favorite and I hate the mirrored walls - do we really need to watch ourselves stuff food down our throats? The yogurt however I love! No I am not a paid spokesperson but will gladly accept all coupons and gift cards from anyone working at Golden Spoon. Done with that rant!
We tried unsuccessfully to talk the kids out of going to watch fireworks - unpatriotic I know but have you forgotten...I'm not sleeping! Derek was pretty tired at this point too yet we could only successfully persuade the girls and Luke to stay home - Nate was determined to get us out to see the night sky aflame with fireworks. We headed over to Ladera and watched the fireworks from an apartment complex. We ran into the Calls from our ward so my boys were happy to have someone to pal around with. It was a nice night and to be honest I'm glad we went. Thanks Nate for being so stubborn!
