4th of July!

Our favorite day of the year!  Megan, Mom, and I walked the 5k in the morning before the parade.  It was Megan's first full 5K.    She needed a little encouragement towards the end, but she did great.
The Usual Suspects were all in attendance at our house for the 4th of  July festivities.  There were no firework mishaps this year.  Whew.
On the boys' birthday, Dwight and Shirley came over along with Carter and Kylie for the boys' birthday party/supper. Teenagers!!!  Can't believe it.

 Happy 13th  Birthday, boys!

 Megan learned how to play the Happy Birthday song on her ukulele

 This is some type of yellow finch that Jonathan is really excited about.
