Trip to Iowa July 11th

It is Sunday...Ted and Anne get up and get ready to leave.  Ted makes mom a crepe...and we all eat and say our goodbyes.  It is raining again...Lynn and I decide to watch TV....and rest.  So we never get out of our pj's.  All day we just sit with Grandma and watch things and snooze.  What a fun and relaxing way to spend the day.  I am sure when I get home there will be none of that!  Mom gets back from her running around and decides to join us.  We are eating leftovers...trying to get the fridge cleaned out before it gets too late.  The rain stops later in the day and it sounds like the FIREWORKS from the fourth will be shot off tonight.  How exciting is that?  We figure that is a good reason to at least get dressed.  We start getting ready to head over to the little house site about 9pm...the mosquitoes are THICK..and we have learned they don't like Mentholatum...who knew?  So we slather and head over in the golf cart...all of us!  It really isn't that far.  Their neighbor Deb comes over to watch with us.  The fireworks are great!  We are so excited we got to see them.  It rained too much to shoot them off on the 4th and 5th...so they postponed them!  Just for us...well we would like to think so!  After the fireworks are over...we drive back to the farm where Grandpa lights another huge fire!  We sit around and giggle and sing..and stare at the stars.  It is sad, our last night...but it was a fun trip.  We decide we won't leave until we have to tomorrow. And yes...the fireworks are sideways...UGH!
