As has been the case for most holidays and events these past few months, the Fourth of July was an understated affair this year. Nevertheless, it offered more quality family time, for which I am grateful.
Laura remains our biggest fan of this holiday - but I think she just enjoys holidays overall! And hey, why not?
The girls and I went to see “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1” at a local movie theater that’s offering a Flashback Cinema series. It was fun to see this movie on the big screen, and aside from one other family, we had the place to ourselves - no social distancing concerns. (The guys stayed home to watch the Arsenal game, and so Tim could monitor his brisket - well worth the effort, might I add.)
After dinner, a round of Uno, and dessert, it was finally dark enough for the sparklers I picked up at Publix. It took Laura a *long* time to summon the courage to hold one, but she finally did!
While there were no city-sponsored fireworks displays this year, plenty of neighbors had their own. Fortunately we never heard any sirens...
And so another corona-tinged milestone passed, better than we might have expected.
