Ten on Tuesday

1. What do you traditionally do for 4th of July?

nothing...sadly we don't have any july 4th traditions.  We were going to watch fireworks but  L is a little too young this year and it was just too hot outside so we watched them on tv.  In the future though I see a family BBQ of sorts followed by watching fireworks as a july 4th tradition.  As a youngin our church would go downtown to where the festivities were and pass out water to all the spectators, it was always lots of fun.

2. Did you follow your tradition this year? How did you celebrate yesterday?
yesterday we hung out at home in our jammies all day. L was very sleepy, going through a growth spurt i guess, so we just hung out at home.  In the evening we ran to the mall so I could return something then we ate an early dinner at La Madeline and then had some Ben and Jerrys Ice Cream, followed by watching fireworks on tv.

3. What’s the best fireworks show you’ve ever seen?
I have never seen anything very spectacular in real life

4. Have you ever been injured by a firecracker?
yep, as a wee child our family was shooting off our own fireworks and one bounced off the house and hit my leg.   Nothing serious but I will never forget it.
