Bird on a wire

I let the birds out tonight. They flew to the floor and just stayed in place, a little frozen. D finally sat down in the living room with some potato chips, and the next thing I knew, this is what I saw...

And the celebrating starts...

D is getting a new phone for his birthday, so we stopped at Chris's store to pick it up. He doesn't look thrilled here, but that's just his teenage attitude.

There's actually a huge 4th of July parade two blocks from our house, we found out yesterday. We hadn't planned for it, but next year it will be fun!

We're headed to my dad's, my sister is in town. She ordered a cookie cake for D, and we got a cake and champagne to celebrate my brother's engagement. I just hope I brought sunscreen...

Happy 4th!
