Relaxing 4th of July

For some reason, we haven't been able to plan our lives more than a few days in advance lately. When we finally decided we weren't going to travel for the 4th of July, it was already the 2nd of July. When I told Sylvia we weren't going to Gram's & Krampa's, she decided she wanted to call and invite them to come to our house...So she did! We were really excited when they said they would come for the weekend!

Jeremy had the day off yesterday, and it was a beautiful sunny day! We ran errands in town, including Krispy Kreme, and then he spent the afternoon ripping down our deck. It collapsed a few weeks ago, and we decided taking it down was our best choice. He got most of it done, except for the frame.

It rained all day today, so we stayed inside and relaxed.
Gram has much more patience with the Easy Bake Oven than I do. She helped Annah make 6 tiny s'mores, and it only took about 2 hours.

Krampa has been working on a barn siding project on his farm. Sylvia had to talk directly with him to convince him and Gram to leave the project for a couple days and come visit. When Krampa asked Sylvia what we would all do if they came to visit, she said, "I know one thing we would do!...Snuggle!" This was all without her being coached, so I think she really tied the knot around Krampa's heartstrings and he would have driven across the world to come snuggle with her this weekend!

While we didn't have sunshine, a picnic, swimming, or fireworks...it still felt like the 4th of July!

Tonight we stayed in and shared our family's favorite movie Prince of Egypt with Krampa & Gram. We're so glad they're here!
