More holiday
Tired girl
In the field
The last dregs of sunset
Ken and Katie
Fireworks, yay!!
Fleurys
Youngs
The cool thing was that although we were up there to see Dover fireworks, we were positioned so that we could also make out the fireworks from a couple of surrounding towns on the horizon. Great spot. We felt bad for the poor cows though- they were terrified, and we were grateful for barbed wire.

July 4th
Yesterday I had the unexpected win of sleeping in, which I really needed. We did a few things around the house, then headed off to Westford to spend some time at Pete's Aunt Deirdre's house.
Swimming!
And lounging on the boat. (Although we had to miss the boat ride, since we had dinner/fireworks plans and needed to head back.)
Mikayla, Deirdre, and Victoria
Such a beautiful day....
Bocce
Aunt Deirdre and the Lou
Uncle John and Grumpa!
A nice visit, then off to meet some of our townies for dinner and fireworks from the Youngs' neighbor's field.....

...so good. It was a tough start to the holiday weekend, in that I had to head into the office for a bit on Friday morning (we were open 9 to 1). But by the time I left, the sun was out for a little while:
Buuuuut, then it rained again. And rained. We had some friends over in the hopes that we'd go from dinner to the kickoff to the Cochecho Arts Festival. Once the concert was moved inside the high school because of the weather, though, it sort of lost its appeal. We had yummy meat from the smoker, broccoli salad and a few beers...and later, ice cream...and the girls rode bikes in the now-drizzle.
Lots of fun, despite the lack of cooperation from the weather.

And another thing.....
It occurs to me that I have been knitting away but have taken no pictures of it lately. Hmm. Maybe later this week, pictures of projects.
Pete's watching the second season of Weeds and I think I will join him, with the aforementioned knitting.

The Last Days of Teeball
In typical slacker-parent fashion, we opted out of the last practice this week (eh, it was at 5 instead of the usual 6 pm, and honestly we are still at work/leaving work at that point!). Pete had a commitment he couldn't get out of, so it was just me for the last game on Saturday. It was mercifully not at 8:00.
Sitting the bench, signing cards for Coach
Coach and Ella (his daughter). "Don't tell me how to hold the bat, DAD!"
That's better.
Run, Charlotte, run! And she did.
Fielding. Approximately 90 seconds later, she insisted on visiting the porta-potties.
Game called on account of everyone-is-hot-and-tired. Or something. Team photo!
And a trophy.
Whatever shall we do with our Saturday mornings now? In the fall there will be dance lessons or yoga....but for now I think we will power down into summer mode. I see a chair under the maple and many cups of coffee with my name on them.....now if only the sun would come out!
