Day 4,093—Happy 4th of July!—

 

I started listening to the Kneecaps today. I am glad to know there is a resurgence of people speaking Gaelic. Every year, I think that we should go to the local parade, but usually we don’t go. Thinking that it would be fun for the kids turns into us doing something else, but this year I looked at where people were sitting up, and it was so close to where we live, and I knew at least two spots where we could park, so when I got home I was determined to make the trip. We went and the kids had an amazing time! 

         The other thing was I noticed people saving places for fireworks so early! The fireworks aren’t until almost 12 hours from now, yet people were already saving their seats?! I think I want to take Vivian to see them tonight, but it might be too late for Felix. It is always tough being a parent because you don’t want to let your preference always rule what you do. Most things that my kids like I don’t like, and that is pretty normal, but I like seeing them happy, so that should be my goal. Either I will take Vivian to the fireworks or Sarah will!
