Happy fifth of July! I've been up at pinetop for almost a week. It's been heaven! It has rained everyday and been around 60 degrees! Awwww, heaven indeed! At least the fireworks weren't rained out! They were in showlow and lasted an hour. I don't know what was better--watching the fireworks or listening to haley and anna. Haley's descriptions of the fireworks included: sparkly, worms, pixie dust, rain pops, sprinkles. Anna broke into song singing America the beautiful. Haley started singing dreams come true. Carson and I laughed the entire time. But the best part is when we all oohed and ahhed together. Or when Haley and anna both said wow at the same time! And I didn't have to hear that stupid "proud to be an American" song once!!

I read in a magazine the other day that one of the best ways to spend your money was on a family vacation. Amen. Some of my best memories are from our vacations. Right now we are having a great time! I love my girls. We have played UNO, watched movies, bar-b-qued, got manicures, painted, crafted and shopped. All in 60 degree weather! Did I mention the weather? It's awesome!

Be back home sometime this week, peace out...l

I love the descriptions too! We have some from our kids, they are pretty dang creative!

I'm glad you are enjoying your time up there. What's the weather like?

So, Lisa, I hope the weather has been good to you! Nothing like the skin-scalding heat in the VAlley of the Sun!
Actually, the weather was very nice while we watched fireworks! And, to me, half the fun of watching fireworks is hearing the kids reaction.
My little 22-month old nephew just kept saying, "loud!" And he has this funny little way of spitting after he says the word "loud". We think that is his attempt at a sound effect!
