Independence Day

On July 4, we made the short trek to Stillwater. This meant a day of browsing antique shops, eating at a local pub, and strolling the St. Croix riverfront.

At about 5 p.m., we staked out our fireworks spot. Then for the next five hours, we took turns making food runs and bathroom breaks. It was a calm evening, and I'm so glad I spent it with my best friend.

The fireworks were set to music--some pop, some country, some classic rock, and a finale of patriotic songs by the Trans Siberian Orchestra. It was phenomenal. 

 (I did not take this photo, but it is pretty much the exact view we had. Photo credit)

We made it home after a ridiculous hour sitting in traffic (approximately half an hour in a parking ramp, another half hour sitting at stop signs in Stillwater). Totally worth it.

 On Sunday, we celebrated this adorable THREE-YEAR-OLD'S birthday.


I cannot believe he is three already. It was a great night of friends, Thomas the Tank Engine, bubbles, and baggo.
 
 The ladies, including the birthday boy's baby sister. So cute!
