4th of July Weekend

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. I wish every weekend could be 3 days long with plenty of sun and things to do. Friday night we had some friends over. Saturday we hung out at home and played in the backyard by the pool. Sebastien isn't a huge fan of the inground pool yet, so he plays mostly in the kiddie pool. Genevieve, Dan and I tend to chill out in the shade on lawn chairs and Gwynnie likes to dig herself holes in the mulch beds. Saturday night we went to see the fireworks in Windham. This was Sebastien's first time seeing fireworks and he was scared at first but his Elmo doll helped him through it, as well as Dan & I reciting some lines about fireworks from his favorite book. After that he seemed to like them and now he can't stop talking about them ("go boom boom!") Sunday we did some more chilling at home by the pool, then went to a friend's house for a pig roast. On Monday we headed to Lake Winnipesaukee for a lamb roast with friends. It was such a nice weekend!

It was a great weekend but at least it's only a 4 day week, right? It's 100 degrees here in NH today so Dan & I set up the window AC units. Thank goodness for them or I'd be spending the whole day with the kids in Walmart or something!
