Jacob and I had a nice fourth of July. I had to work so Jacob got to spend the daytime hours with his grandparents. They were all excited. Grandma and Grandpa (Papi) wanted to take him to a state park about an hour from here. Due to the recent flooding, the beach was covered with water but was open for swimming. They had push-up ice cream treats, hotdogs, pizza and went swimming. After about 3 hours there, Jacob was still complaining when it was time to leave. He felt better after riding the ferry and was telling everyone that Papi's car went on a boat ride.
After dinner, Jacob and I picked up our teenage friends, T and B, and headed to the church for some fireworks. The firworks are very visible from the church lawn. For the past five years, the Senior High youth group has sold snacks as a fund raiser to all of the people sitting on the church lawn and walking by the church on their way to the park. Sales went well, the fireworks were good and everyone had fun. Jacob still complains that the fireworks were too loud but he also states they were pretty and he wants to go back next year.
The only sad part of the day was a phone call from my aunt. My great Aunt, Aunt Dot, had major stroke and wasn't responding. It took a day but she woke up and is now doing better. Prayers are still very much needed.
