July 4th was spent with our friends. We shot off a rocket (the boys spent a long time trying to shoot it out of a really high tree with a sling shot), ate wonderful organic food, read a story about the flag 'F is for Flag', then kids made a paper flag - they worked well together to make the flag then each one got to put on a few stars while reading out the states and it's capital. Then we sang patriotic songs to Jeanne's piano playing. Good clean fun!
