Happy 4th of July!


We are having such a great time being home this summer! We have had our Target store fix, been overwhelmed at the grocery store with SO many choices (as we don't have all these choices in Singapore), stocking up on items we can't buy in Singapore to squeeze into our luggage for the way home, and visiting lots of friends and family. We do miss the heat and sun of Singapore though, it hasn't been really warm here--and it has rained A LOT since we arrived. And what is "warm" to New Englanders doesn't feel the same to us, amazing how quickly we got used to the real heat and humidity of Singapore. :)

We are currently in Vermont, as our tradition of 4th of July here is our absolute favorite!!! (they celebrated last night here on the 3rd) It has to be one of my favorite holidays, and the folks here in Quechee Vermont, and the Quechee Club put on an amazing fun day for all of us. There are soo many games and rides for the kids(like a carnival/fair), a DJ with fun music to dance to, a yummy yummy dinner and then AMAZING fireworks. Words cannot describe how great the show is, and a finale that would blow you away. My kids LOVE the 4th of July here in Vermont. Madeline danced most of the night, and she and Karol were a hit with all their dance moves (made the other Grandma's jealous). Grant won some really cool prizes with all the games, and had a blast with the sparklers when it finally got dark. Brian and I enjoyed relaxing, having some great summer cocktails, and visited with friends we haven't seen since last summer up here. Great time for all!!!




Happy 4th of July to all of you!!!
