Fourth of July Frenzy

Camberly's parents came to visit for the 4th of July and because it wasn't a very long visit it was cram packed. They arrived just in time to go watch the city fireworks along the Genesee River. We had a great location just at the bend (behind the ugly apartment buildings). We researched settings and methods for taking pictures of fireworks and got there early to pick out a good spot and set up the tripod and remote trigger. The fireworks were really neat and many of the pictures turned out pretty well. Little Bird was great but missed the big finale because she fell asleep, despite all the booming.

Thursday we headed down to Letchworth State Park to see the three waterfalls and the canyon.We kept getting in and out of the car to look at the different views. There is only so much a girl can take before it is time to eat so we stopped at the air-conditioned visitors center to feed Little Bird. A bit of advice, unless you need the restrooms or to cool off, don't bother the the visitors center. It was pretty weak. But it met our needs just fine. We had our picnic and then went to the last two falls.

What a happy girl.

Friday and Saturday were just spent at home enjoying each others company and doing the requisite home projects. They can never come without getting put to work. Sheer drapes were hung in the sunroom to soften the look of the old slatted windows. The men work hard to swap the locations of the elliptical and the futon, while totally rearranging the office. The women made a bunch of pillows to accent Little Bird's room (they will be great to play with when she gets bigger).

To finish off the week, here are a couple cute pictures to tide you over until next time.
