Just a short catch up. The kids and I have spent a lot of time doing a local "safari" with many friends. We've logged many hours in the heat at the zoo and parks. We've also spent many evenings with the kids huddled in the basement waiting out some eventful storms. The fourth of July is also a highlight of the year for the kids, as Greg goes absolutely crazy with the fireworks, and this year was no exception. I found myself hiding inside more this
year as the firework smoke became more than my pathetic lungs could bear. We have just completed building a new clubhouse/fort/swingset for the kids today. The kids are anxious to play in it, but it required a bit of new landscaping, and it is surrounded by impassable mud (and more rain in the forecast). We are trying desperately to get sod down, but evidently they won't cut the sod when it's this wet -- the perfect time to put it in. =( Pictures of the "fort" will follow soon!
