Usually, we watch the local fireworks on Mark’s birthday, July 3rd.  But this year, they were done on June 30th.  Not a big deal to us.  We packed up, braved the threatening storm clouds and headed out. This was the year I finally remembered to hit up the dollar store and grab up all sorts of fun glow in the dark things.  The glowing orbs are actually glow balls and were an instant hit! Just because she is adorable…and doesn’t have a neck brace.
