Independence Day

Happy birthday, America!  I love Fairmont on the Fourth!  Although we were so tired from Friday, we didn't have the energy to celebrate properly Saturday.  We spent the afternoon at Heritage Acres hearing the music, touring the buildings, talking to people we ran into that we knew.  We had popcorn and a root beer float from the old fashioned store, and the kids tried to polka dance. Normally, we love to hear the music in the park and fireworks by the lake, but were so tired after our busy days that we didn't make it this year.  We were excited to find out that we can see the fireworks from our driveway.  Awesome!  And with it being Saturday night, we had our church picnic Sunday which was also fun.  But three days of celebrating will wear anyone out.  Or maybe I'm just old.  Today was nice relaxing. The kids played, and I worked on some house projects.  Coming soon!

Root beer floats!

Polka!

Blurry but I love the old schoolhouse!

Fireworks from our driveway

Ava is afraid of the noise and watched from the window until she gave up, and we found her like this when we came in.  The end of a long two days.
