We spent Saturday the 3rd working around the house.  The weather forecast showed rain on and off all day, which put a damper on the possibility of fireworks, but we still headed the way of the fun (city-sponsored activities) late that afternoon.  On the way there we saw some women on the side of the road trying to coax an animal to safety.  Turns out it was a turtle – a very LARGE and unhappy turtle.  Derek is a turtle-saver (which is funny because I have memories of my Dad being a turtle-saver too) – he'll rescue turtles from streets and take them to safety.  In fact the kind ladies who had pulled over nicknamed Derek the "turtle whisperer".  

(I told you it was very large!)

Turns out we were right next to a corn field and I have always thought it would be fun to take the kids pictures in a corn field, so we did (we weren't really dressed cute for it, but their faces are cute enough).

Then it started raining, so we headed to a local Mexican place for dinner.  Then it was still raining, so we headed early to my Mom's so the boys could watch Animal Planet to their heart's desires as we waited for fireworks.  But we got too tired to keep waiting and headed home just before the fireworks.  But the next night (Sunday) we felt bad that the kids hadn't seen any fireworks so we found a local field and pulled out our lawn chairs and watched a real-dud-of-a-fireworks-show in McKinney.  Lesson learned – wait for the ones in Frisco…they're worth the wait.
