Well, with the exception of the fourth of July, our week wasn't all that exciting. Margie had Oliver rehearsal most evenings (we open next weekend!)and she and the kids went to Pirate's Cove twice. (By the way, did we tell you that a picture of Margie is in the season brochure? Cool!). That's about it. Dan had Friday, July 3 off, but he just changed oil in the car and started some work on his next set (the bathtub in our garage).
For the fourth of July we got up super early to attend the church pancake breakfast--though it was a little sad because due to our 21 day detox (today is Day 17!), we didn't get to eat any pancakes. Margie made it up to the kids by making super healthy spelt/almond pancakes at home for lunch. At the breakfast (which was held at a local park), Lyn rode on her scooter to participate in the children's parade. A friend of ours took a cute picture of her with her decorated scooter, but hasn't sent us a copy yet. We'll be sure to post it when we get it.
After lunch, Margie headed out to do some furniture shopping (looking for a new dining room table set). All the stores were having special holiday markdowns, but she couldn't find exactly what she wanted.
For dinner we had marinated portobello burgers and a special (not quite detox) treat of Red, White, and Blue Terra chips (red sweet potatoes, candy striped beets, and blue potatoes).
After dinner we played a couple rounds of Cranium Family Edition--that was a lot of fun. John wants you to know that he won both games! The hardest challenge was having to draw a clue with your eyes closed.
By then it was time for fireworks. One would think that living here in the Nation's Capital, the 4th of July would be a big deal, but Dan and Margie realized a long time ago that it wasn't really very fun to be out in the heat, humidity, and mosquitoes, so we chose to watch the fireworks on TV--indoors with air conditioning! (We're such wimps.) Our neighbors were also shooting off some fireworks, so Dan took John in the car to drive around and watch them.
Today we had church and Margie had rehearsal. Dan made our dinner, and everyone enjoyed a special, detox treat--goat's milk ice cream! The verdict? Yummy!!!
John also wants you to know that he has defeated two of the bosses (in his Super Mario 64 DS game) and has completed the course for the last one, but he can't destroy him because of his special tricks--being fast, breathing fire, and electric stomps.
Well, that's all our news. We hope you had a great holiday and continue to have a fabulous summer.
