“Insta”-replay: Small town 4th

Happy July, a rare weekly update!  Without school taking up our time we’ve been busy!


Charry was feeling crafty after her sister’s niffler project so she found a few pet rocks, and found paint without me realizing it.  One minute she’s asking about looking outside for rocks, the next said rocks are staring at me. At least they have friendly stares.


We may be a little obsessed with the Animal Crossing phone app. First a fishing tournament and now a gardening challenge, it’s like being outside with out interacting with people.  


One of the things I was excited about when we decided to move into a town was small town event, and in Stayton, Fourth of July is a big deal.  Girls were looking very patriotic, especially Merry with her giant bow.  


One small town tradition is the annual parade, even before moving here we always came for the parade.  So we have a few favorite floats, like snoopy flying the postal plane.


Another tradition we enjoyed even before moving is the fireworks. We sat on blankets at the local highschool.  Along with friends, family, and most of the town.


The display was awesome this year! I was surprised by how long it went.  And there were a few types of fireworks I hadn’t seen before.


We finished the week with a family movie night! 

The month has started well! Yay summer.
