Independence Day 2020

We celebrated at home, of course, because of distancing, but we tried to capture the spirit and ventured out at dusk to watch the fireworks from a parking lot on Pantops:

The Day's Agenda

Dressing for the holiday





First up: festive chalk art




While Abby and I were making a flag cake, Benji took it on himself to make a slide show of Fourth of July through the years. It was really fun to watch

Water gun battle, which felt great int he 90 degree heat


We got this giant jenga at a neighbor's free sale and played it while we dried off



Benji made the tower topple both times, the first on purpose and the second for real

The evening's menu


Watermelon seed spitting contest (Abby won)


We set up at the edge of a parking lot to watch the fireworks on Carter's Mountain, but were actually treated to multiple displays we could see across the valley. There were a few other famlies out in our same spot, but everyone kept their distance


Back home, we set off some of our sparklers and morning glories
