Happy Independence Day

I hope everyone is having a great day. We are planning on going to the base tonight and watch the fireworks. We like going there because it is not super crowded and easy to get in and out of and there is usually free ice cream and drinks. So Cousin John is coming over tonight and we are going to go watch the fireworks. Hopefully it won't be too hot, because it has been super hot lately.

We have been busy this summer. It is hard to believe that there are only 6 weeks left of summer. It is too short. I was worried that we would not have enough to do since this is Nathan's first summer not going to school. Nathan goes to therapy twice a week and goes to swimming lessons twice a week and we have been trying to go to Magic Springs at least once a week. So we are staying busy. Donald took Daniel and Rachel to Magic Springs on Friday by himself. Nathan and I stayed home. He said they all had fun so we will probably take them back with us a few more times before the summer is over. I will try to take some pictures of the water park and Nathan playing in the water next time we go because he loves the water so much and has so much fun. His swimming lessons are going good. Ms. Tami(the paraprofessional that was in his class)is a good teacher for him. He loves to go to her house and swim with her.

I guess that updates everyone. I hope everyone has a great week.

Just thought I would add that we did go to the fireworks on base. They were giving away free ice cream, drinks and t-shirts. We had fun the only problem was that after about 5 minutes of fireworks Nathan had seen enough. So for the next 30 minutes or so he just said they are close to the end. the fireworks are over time to go. He kept his fingers in his ears the whole time. He wanted to see them just not the whole show. But we did stay for the whole show and then he was telling us they were loud.
