My boys are lucky enough to have their friend Phinneas, from The Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM) Delcros Eurhythmics, join them for Fourth of July festivities. I would like to go swimming at Purvis Park, our local swimming hole, but they just might not go for that. You see, we went the other night with their babysitter, Sascha, and that might be enough for awhile! Play is the theme of their day! Either way, it’s going to be a special!

Regarding their evening plans, the boys have a sleep over at their friend Soren’s house, complete with a night in a tent, under the stars, in Soren’s backyard, as long as the weather holds up. Looks like fireworks will take a back seat to tenting it in the old back yard!
As as it turned out, the evening would not have been complete without the traditional hunt for fireflies at dusk! Fireflies ruled over fireworks this Fourth! The boys were all vey impressed with their glow in the dark American flags and light up bracelets! Small treasures still delight! What fun!
