Independence Day

So far our Independence Day has been fun - just the three of us as DS has gone off with friends to Minnesota to some demo derby We had good chicken, Helen had fun at the kiddie games - coin/sawdust pile, golf, cork gun, football toss, spin wheel etc. and won some flarp - silly putty kinda stuff that ....well....farts! Yes, we have been most amused by it all afternoon.
Then the highlight for Miss H so far was not watching the parade, but getting to ride in a fire truck IN the parade with her daddy - most exciting! I had to ride too in case they got a call and he had to turf us out half way round the route!

Just got back from Pizza, and now taking it easy before the fireworks - we did get a downpour of rain that probably lasted - a minute!! Enough to cool things off which was fine with me!
