The 4th of July is always one of our favorite holidays as it is also Doug's birthday. How great it is to know that he always has a day off from work and there are fireworks to end a day of celebration. Today we went to my cousin's for a cookout/pool party. We then stopped by the mall to pick up Doug's present at the Apple Store and several books from Barnes & Noble.
The boys went golfing while I packed for the weekend in Cleveland. A bonfire, sparklers, and lasso golf all made for a great night at home. Doug opened his gifts to find that everyone decided to replenish his wine bar! German Chocolate cake, raspberry pie, sugar cookies and ice cream were on hand for dessert. The only disappointing part of the evening was the fireworks. It was not the town of Syracuse's fault. Last year we sat under the Arch in St. Louis listening to the band Heart watching the fireworks. There wasn't much this year that could compare, but at least now we know where the Heinisch children want to go next year for Independence Day!
