4th of July Fun!

The 4th was a lot of fun! I took the boys to a parade in the morning and they loved it! I think the only thing they were interested in was the candy that was being thrown out. Then I dropped them off at David's and he took them to a picnic. (meanwhile, I worked on my grad school stuff) The night was really special because all the family up here hung out at the fireworks show together. The kids love playing with their cousins. I promise to post pictures soon, I can't get the ones I took of the parade off my camera and it wasn't working that night so as soon as Derek or Kelly send them out I'll post some. Derek took a lot of great shots! Dawson was doing some of his dance moves...so cute! He looks more and more like the Larson clan. They are all really beautiful people, good genes! River was scared of the fireworks and buried his head in my chest the whole time. Maybe next year he'll like them...

This is my last week of classes. My finals are Wednesday and Thursday. I have a big project to present on Tuesday that I have been working on non-stop. After Thursday, it will officially feel like summer I think!

Dawson's summer school ended last week and so this morning I took him to a rec center special needs camp. It lasts for two weeks...then I'll probably put him in gymnastics camp. He continues with speech therapy. We had to discontinue occupational therapy because the new insurance only is so bad. Luckily, we have learned enough of what to work on with him that we can do most of it ourselves. He has some good friends that he made in Kindergarten last year that I am going to call up for play dates next week and visit some of the cousins that live close by.
