July 4th 2016

It was like any other day, except Tim had the day off from work. We kept the day simple with relaxation.  Kohl and I played a little outside in the backyard. We enjoyed popsicles or as Kohl says it "popcle."
For dinner we enjoyed grilled burgers and hot dogs. Yum! I only wished I had made potato salad. Anyway it was delicious.
Tim turned in early, so it was just Kohl and I. There were neighbors around the area who set fireworks off so we enjoyed watching them from the second story windows. It was fun seeing Kohl get excited watching the sky light up.
After awhile it was time for bed, so I tucked him into his bed, and checked the TV for any firework/independence day celebrations. I was lucky to catch the last 30 minutes of the Macy's Celebration. Since I could hear Kohl talking in his room I decided to let him out to watch the fireworks on TV. We had fun! I couldn't help but get teary-eyed. I felt blessed to be in this country, and that I celebrated with my sweet boy. One day I will teach him what it means to celebrate Independence day!
After all the fireworks it was truly bed time. So again I tucked him into bed, and put on a movie before heading to bed myself. As I was walking to the bedroom I saw lighting flashing everywhere. It was amazing, and that was the end to my day.
