Ok, it’s a few days past the fourth…but bear with me, I’ve been down with a summer cold.

So…our fourth was prettty good. We went up to Chester for their annual parade (which my sis-in-law and I missed …long story, though) and their craft fair. The boys got some sno cones while us adults got the tri tip lunch. For a little country thing, you expect to pay more and get less, right? Well, not there! For $9 you get about 4 big slices of tri tip, half a plate of beans, a big helping of salad and a slice of french bread…and the lady even gave me extra bread for the boys! My 4 year old was happy to be able to share such a big meal with me.
We walked around the craft fair for a bit after eating, then headed back down to my sis-in-law’s (ok, so it wasn’t as easy as that). It was more like my hubby called at exactly the right moment (he was sleeping late from working late the night before) and the boys and I got a ride to our house with him and then got a ride into town when he went to work a couple hours later. We were picked up by my sis-in-law’s hubby and taken to her house.
Anyway, we hung out at their for a bit, then around 7ish headed back into town to watch the fireworks at the fairgrounds….and my sis-in-law’s hubby set off their own. It was awesome and the boys loved it.

That night I tossed and turned (I hadn’t been feeling very good, but not too bad, either, for most of the day) and woke up with one hell of a head cold. I’m just now starting to get rid of it. It hasn’t been a very fun past 3 days.
