What great fun we had celebrating the birth of our nation! We have also lived in the great state of Maryland for one year as well (we look past the stupid speed cameras)!! Being so close to the capital adds some level of excitement to the 4th of July. We thought of venturing downtown to see the big show of fireworks but it was REALLY hot and humid and with the new baby we decided to stick close to home. Because of all the power-outages all the local cities cancelled their firework displays so we were left with party poppers on the front law (funny side note, ALL real fireworks are banned in our county, the only thing you can do are snaps, sparklers, and of course party poppers. interesting because all the vegetation is damp….) Next year we will for sure make the big show in DC, no excuse will be accepted!
We did attend the ward breakfast in the morning where the Franks family gushed over Conrad (their daughter Trish is our go-to babysitter). Seth made this delicious “buttery” flag cake. I walked in the kitchen while he was making up the batter and I saw THREE butter wrappers sitting on the counter. I made the comment that that was an impressive amount of butter for one cake. Seth did a double take and realized he had accidentally doubled the butter in the cake. No worries, extra butter never hurt anything!!
This pictures is such a good representation of our life: complete chaos with calm, happy Seth carrying on.
That cake looks delicious!
