Dinner and a DVD, Film Noir, no less, that was how the weekend of the Fourth.
Fourth of July morning always begins gathered
round the table with family, friends, pancakes, bacon, and a bowl of fresh fruit. After breakfast the children scattered, enjoyed some playtime while the adults shot off some after breakfast fireworks in the form of a heated political debate. But don’t get me wrong, I love a good respectful thought provoking debate.
Mid-morning the dads scooped up the children minus one and drove off to the local firecracker stand for sparklers and then some. And while they did that I took Taylor to perform his original composition for piano, "Industrial Animation" at an awards ceremony... Taylor won a state wide competition... again!
Yes, there was the traditional BBQ—chicken, salad, corn-on-the-cob, and garlic bread. Yum. After dinner and before homemade cookies, the boys dug into the firecracker purchases from earlier in the day, and began the annual tradition of unwrapping an entire package of Poppets each and crafted the innards to a monster Poppet.
As soon as they had completed their mission, it was time the group headed over to a secret location where fireworks from several locations in the city can be spied on simultaneously.
After that? Well, that was when the backyard fun began.
