Summer is all about the fun, right?<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I took the kids to the Dinasaur Museum at Thanksgiving point.  Since I didn&#8217;t take John with us (he was home having a nap), it was pretty easy with just the four kids.  They played for a whole hour at the sand and water &#8220;erosion table&#8221;.  I should have brought a book.  It was nice to see them working together and having so much fun.  I bought a year long pass so we can now go whenever we feel like it and not have to pay and extra.  With 5 kids I only have to go 3 times to make it worth the pass, so I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll get our money&#8217;s worth on that one.<\/p>\n<p>Later, after a great job of washing and cleaning out the van, we went over to our friend Tess&#8217; house for some low key fireworks.  Ryan liked the fact that David&#8217;s brother&#8217;s wife is from Brazil, and her mother was there visiting.  So Ryan had a native Brazilian to chat with.  Everyone else liked that there was one more person to translate for her.<\/p>\n<p>We had a fun time and are greatful for friends who help us have fun and enjoy our holidays.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you all had a great Independence Day, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fun fun Fun!
