A bottle of bubbles kept my three youngest children happy this morning. My 12 year old tried to ice skate for the first time today. He only fell three times, and he's looking forward to getting back on the ice. I gingerly skated next to him and the guardrail. I haven't been on skates for 10 years. I was surprised to see that I could still get around the rink without falling. We ended the day with basketball and hockey on the driveway. My daughter loved cheering for her big brothers as they hustled during the game. All in all, it was a lovely day filled with play and relaxation. I hear lots of fireworks going off in the neighborhood. We're going to watch the fireworks display on TV. I think my daughter would hold her ears if she was there in person. Our Fourth of July was laid back and enjoyable. No big plans, just spending time together. Happy 4th of July!! Hugs to all my buddies around the world too!!
