4th of July
Big day for Uncle Sam, 'his' birthday you know.
Bigger day for "Phillians" - this is the birth place. You can imagine the excitement that was buzzing in the air, fire works starting on the 3rd, cook outs, barbecues, the works.
In the Ongwen house hold things were a little different. We were making sure all the boxes, bags, suitcases and such were packed and ready to go into storage. Sam did a great job of packing, organising and putting things away. As usual Mich was running all over the place, trying to help but sometimes, actually most times, getting in the way. Every time I bent down to pick something or pack a bag he was thinking "wow that is a perfect opportunity for a piggy back ride". I decided to take him to the play ground letting Dad have the space to wrap up in peace.
Later in the evening we thought we would go watch the fire works and also attend the live John Legend concert. We were there only briefly when it started to drizzle, and drizzle it did. After about 45 minutes of trying to shelter under trees and Mich attempting to climb every tree then sulking because Daddy wasn't standing still long enough for him to climb up his shoulder/arm/leg/whatever we decided to leave.
We got home, put Mich to bed and had a wonderful viewing of the Legend concert and spectacular fire works in the comfort of our sitting room - on TV. I mean it was just like we were attending the function except we were not getting wet in the rain.
