Photo-A-Day - Day 16!

"Sky" - a beautiful blue sky after a rainy morning!!

Puddles!

After a much-needed day of rain, puddles were everywhere! 

Following the puddle stream down the road.

Oooh, this puddle looks good!

What do you think, Ansel?

My boot!

Even the little puddles are fun!

Who's the handsome kitty in the puddle?

Hmm....

Here's one that's my size!

Testing the waters....

Splash!! Perfect!!

We even had a couple double rainbows!!

And the clouds after the storm were beautiful!!

Raindrops

Yesterday was a rainy, dreary day.

Actually that's only part of it.

Yesterday was a day of rain drops.

Our 4th of July fun!

Happy 237th birthday America! 

This is what we did to celebrate. :)

We started our celebrations on the 3rd and went to see fireworks!

We brought some homemade bubbles and several kids were having fun with our bubbles!

We got home around 11:30 and plopped everyone into bed.

On the 4th we had more fun with bubbles!

Uncle Sam - Audrey Hepburn style! (By the way, bubbles by the nose isn't comfortable! ;)

After we were outside with the bubbles for a while it started raining. We decided it was perfect for dancing in!

We ate lunch and all the girls took naps while I tackled a chapter of Algebra. 

After naps we watched the Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again and then went out to play when it was dry outside.

We had more fun with bubbles and then enjoyed a delicious dinner inside.

We had hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, and tortilla chips. For desert we had cherry cobbler/pie for the big people and cotton candy push pops for the little people. 

All in all it was a delightful way to celebrate the 4th!!!!! 

9 year Anniversary!

Our house has been with us for 9 years! 

I decided neither snow 

nor rain 

nor heat 

nor gloom of night

will make us leave our lovely house anytime soon!
