Why do we always call it "the 4th of July"? Today is the 7th of July. So what? Why don't we call it Independence Day? Calling it "the 4th of July" is like calling Thanksgiving "Turkey Day." Or Christmas "Xmas." It's like we're trying to forget the reason behind the holiday.
Anyway, I had a good INDEPENDENCE DAY. We grilled steaks and played with some cheap fireworks. Zo was more interested in sucking on his blanket than blowing things up. After we ate, there was a thunderstorm. We sat beneath an umbrella on our back patio, covered with a sleeping back, and watched the lightening, thunder, rain, and hail. After it was over, we enjoyed the most amazing rainbow I've ever seen. It was a double rainbow that stretched from the northeast to the southeast horizon.
We watched fireworks later that night, but they didn't compare to nature's lightening and rainbow shows.
Next summer we'll be in Missouri. Then we'll see some REAL thunderstorms.

I feel like this is the closest you've ever come to the "dark side" of blogging. Also known as family blogging/mommy blogging whatever.
Yeah, I like the 4th of July a lot too.
