There was not much enthusiam in our house for fireworks, a barbeque, or any celebration. Terry and I talked about it a lot, had a lot of ideas and options, but not much enthusiam. We ended up doing yard work and running errands until mid afternoon. So that we were not complete patriotic Scrooges, we put up the flag and met Bry and his family to check out the chalk art at Ann Morrison Park.

| Not the best, but my favorite chalk art was of a colorful cat. |

Terry doesn't like crowds, none of us liked the heat (especially Amee who had Isaac snuggled up in a pack, with a blanket over him because she didn't have any baby sunscreen), and we had to park and walk a long way. The river floaters had the right idea, but we had no enthusiam so that didn't happen.
We decided to go get something to eat. Downtown had free parking and no people. Our first choice of restaurants was closed for the Fourth, so we went to Old Chicago and had a quiet, relaxing meal.

We came back to our house to just hang out for a while. Everyone found treats in the freezer. We had put banana cake, lemon cupcakes, and peanut butter cookies in there so we wouldn't eat them. It was a hot day and everyone enjoyed frozen food. Tanner thinks that treats are only candy, so I found some sour gummy worms for him.
When it got dark, Bry and Amee took Tanner to see the fireworks. They had a place on the bench to park where you have a view of the whole valley. Tanner was pretty excited for the big show. I like to watch fireworks, but Terry and Brent were partied out. We watched for a little while on TV. Very lame, but we did have a fun 4th.
