4th of July at home, EFA 3.9

Often we spend the 4th at a friends camp or fishing or off doing something, but this I made sure to take the day off and we closed ourselves in at home simply enjoying each other.  My gifts:

 

~ Sipping coffee.

~ Watching boys play.

~ Listening to the birds sing and the boys laugh.

~ Watching the "shows" the boys put on for us while they swung.

~ The zip line, even I enjoy it.

 

 

~ Archery.

 

 

~ Sampling the first of the raspberries, melt in your mouth good.

 



 

~ Chatting with my oldest.

~ Savoring him.

 

 

~ This back yard, a gift only God could give.

~ Roasting hot dogs.

~ A fire pit built by my three men.

 

 

~ Smores, and a boy who can make his own.

 



 

~ Watching my boys use sparklers and remembering when I was small like them.

 

~ Ending the night with an indoor camp out for two little hoolies.
