Hazel is crawling… very slowly. Dar tries to clean the permanent marker from the fireplace. Brigham dances in his usual funny way.  Ginger tries to do what the TV tells her and attempts to convince Dar to take her to Chuck E. Cheese’s for fun and merriment. Ginger squirts me at dinner and has to pay the consequences. We light a “safe and sane” firecracker in the back yard and hilarity ensues.

Happy Independence Day! The kids are all decked out in their 4th of July attire and ready for the festivities to begin. We go over a big dip in the road and scare Ginger. Auntie Tara gets her own moment. We discuss drawing photos that you didn’t take to preserve memories. Auntie’s hair is SUPER red now. We watch the fireworks and Brigham gets scared.
