my 4th of July!!!
I had a lot of fun this 4th of July. We went to Missouri to visit family, which we hadn't done for a while. But it was partly because my great-grandmother (well we call her Granny actually) turned 90, so we had a big birthday party for her!
But we went to see the fire works and were almost late, so we were walking around trying to find a place where there weren't any trees in the way! Since my grandfather lives on the Missouri River they were shooting them off from the other side. There's also a rail road track right beside the river, so we sat right behind it on these extra tracks that were just stacked up. We had been sitting there for like 2 minutes (remember we had been walking around for a good 5 minutes!) and all of a sudden we head a train whistle! So we all hurry and get out of the way, b/c the train would've been like 3-5 feet in front of us, so we waited 5 MORE minutes before the train got out of the way. We couldn't really see the fireworks during that time b/c of the train. So after it passed, we could sit back down, but everybody was kind of looking around a lot just to make sure another train wasn't coming from the other direction, and if it had it would have been literally a foot in front of us.
But it was a pretty awesome 4th.

Hey!
Yeah, that was awesome!
One of my favorite parts would probably be when Caspian is running from the Telmarines in the woods and Reepicheep is chasing him, that was pretty funny too.
No, there was nothing like that between Caspian and Susan in the book.
Sounds like you had a fun 4th of July. :-)
I'll be praying for your sister.
Later! ~ Baby Girl
