Happy North July

Luke insists that the American flag is the North July flag and therefore Friday was North of July! We have tried and tried to explain to him that the holiday we celebrate is the Fourth of July but he is about as bullheaded as they come. Once he has an idea stuck in his head, there is NO getting it out!
As I said Ben wasn't feeling great on Friday so we just stayed home, cooked out and roasted "smarshsmallows". It was fun but the boys wanted to see fireworks. So, Saturday night we made an attempt to take them to Conneaut Lake. We thought they started at 10 but apparently they started at dusk which is a vague term that means whenever they feel like it. :-) As we drove into town the fireworks had begun and so we could not find a good place to watch them. So we promised we would find another place to go this summer to see fireworks. We found that they were doing them on Lake Erie about ten miles from where we are. So we went last night to those ones. The boys LOVED them! We had so much fun!
