Tuesday, we had a long list of errands to run. All of the big box stores are at least 25 minutes away, so I need to make the best use of my time and my gasoline! :o)

About half way through the errands, we picked up some lunch at Subway (love those $5 foot long sandwiches!) and headed to the park we fondly call 'The Duck Park'. The park has a large wooden play area which is next to a large 'pond' which is home to many ducks. We had some stale bread from our last civil war re-enactment which was perfect 'duck bread'. Here are a couple of pictures of the kids at the park:

I was able to pick up a couple of 4th of July decorations (on sale at Michael's) and some President and United States flash cards (in the dollar section of Target), so I made the table look festive:

Tonight, Kelsey has a friend spending the night. We made this Red, White, and Blue Garland from the Martha Stewart web site:

I pray that you and your family have a safe Fourth of July. Take a moment and thank God for the freedoms we enjoy in this country.
