Growing up we squeezed all of my favorite activities into our fourth of July schedule. Robert pushed the kids in the freedom run and then we all sat down for our annual pancake breakfast at the church. Next we went swimming at my Grandpa & Grandma Newtons pool. We came home had a big dinner in the backyard and played "snakes & ladders" (an outdoor game throwing golf balls on a string, not the board game) with my Grandma Paxman. Pepper and Tabor rode their toy cars down the driveway until we went inside to get ready for fireworks. We went out on our boat in lake Sammamish and watched a firework show. My favorite activity ever! When the fireworks started Pepper kept saying "I want to go home" but after a minute or two she got over the noise and got excited pointing out the different colored fireworks. Tabor on the other hand just stared. It has been fun as the years by to incorporate my kids into old family traditions and to make new ones.
