Happy Birthday, America!!! I hope you are all having a wonderful Independence Day. We've had a blast. We started the day by attending the Eagle River Fireworks at midnight, July 3rd. That was the first time we did that. Erica took pictures with her camera. This morning we went to the Anchorage Park Strip to watch the Parade and the activities at the Park Strip. Erica took $7...it was fun watching her decide what to spend her money on. In the end, she decided not to do any of the big slide (at $3 a ride) or the bucking bull (at $5 a ride). She went on the bounce house obstacle course (for $1) and got an ice cream cone (for $5).
We came home and relaxed the rest of the day...sort of. Jeff mowed the lawn and Erica decided she was big enough to help. Parts of the lawn were mowed 4 and 5 times (around one side of the tree), but she did a good job. And of course, that was my perfect excuse to get some scrapping done (actually, I had been scrapping before that...but it gave me more of an excuse to keep going).

way to go Erica!!! so glad you're helping with the chores around the house - that's a great way to learn things as you grow - AND a great way to help Mom and Dad!!! it's neat to hear about the events around town too - we're never here for the holiday - might change that next year ;-)
