Happy Independence Day! We didn’t not celebrate the 4th in a traditional sense today. The boys cannot stay up late enough for fireworks and all the people we normally would BBQ with are out of town (we weren’t ready to throw our own BBQ yet), but we still had a great day.
Our 4th started out checking out all the water left behind from last night’s storm. My rain gauge had 1.5 inches in it, which for the desert is a ton!
The baby pool is now disgusting and full! It was clean and only had about 2 inches of water in it before.
Lake Miramar is full! (Lake Miramar is our neighborhood name for the retention basin down the street, it has very deep dry wells at the bottom too, so it is impressive when it fills)
After that, it was time to go to the Farmers’ Market!
As you can see it was met with great excitement.
Our bounty from the market. Most of this is to make more baby food. Look at those giant sweet potatoes, Ezra will be so happy!
Then we took naps, okay the boys did, Matt and I did stuff around the house. When nap time was over cousin Abby came over and we went swimming.
This is fun!

Mom and Ezra
Auntie Michelle and Abby
Noah really likes to lick towels, blankets, pretty much anything
Thanks to our neighbors who lent us their pool in their absence! It was a great day for swimming.
You are welcome for the pool!! I am glad you all had a good time. We will have to join you for swimming soon

Happy 4th of July! Looks like you had a good one. How awesome that you have access to a swimming pool too! We’re thinking of you out here in Washington! Hope things are getting easier with every passing day!

I love seeing the boys with you. I also loved seeing the diapers drying on the line. I hope you don’t mind that I posted the video of the drive in Addis. I particularly liked your song choice.

Sounds like a great 4th of July to me!
