Day 25-28 Friday - Monday

Fourth of July weekend! Ryan took Friday off so he and the boys and I ran around getting food and drinks for the holiday weekend. Friday night we went to a party in Tipton with the Sandys. Eventually, the boys had fun running around with Claire catching lightening bugs, even after Calvin had commented, "We came here for nothing." He was a little bored at first!

Saturday, the Fourth of July, we went to the Bettendorf Parade. It rained the entire time, but the boys didn't care. They got a bag full of candy that they spent much of the late morning sorting with Mason. We went out to the cabin with the Ebelings and Grizz, Maggie, and Lois. It rained steadily all day. Bummer for the Fourth of July. We had planned to go to Princeton Beach and then the slough... It cleared a little in the late evening. Our cabin neighbors lit many fireworks so we had our own private showing. Finally, Sunday we were able to boat all day and enjoy more Juloy-like weather.

Monday the boys and I walked over to Truman School and played on the playground equipment. In the evening, they put on the sprinkler and ran around getting soaked.

We are keeping very busy!

How did the boys like the Fairmount library? Stopping at the Fairmount library is kind of on my way home from work. I am so excited that they are building another library in the north part of Davenport! Way to go Davenport!
