The Order of the Day

1.  Get in the car super early in the morning (5:30 a.m.) and drive for a long time with semi-functioning air conditioning.  
2.  Listen to George cry A LOT.  He had a tummy bug and was very, very sad today.  Probably the saddest he's ever been in his whole little life.
3.   Drive over the 4th of July Pass on the 4th of July.  You don't do that every day!  Technically you can only do it once a year.
4.  Arrive on Fox Hill and delight in the mass of humanity that is the Fox family.  Catch a tiny mouse and several butterflies and moths.
5.  Visit with Lori.  Even though we live only 20 minutes apart at home, we have to travel 11 hours to find time to chat.
6.  Sword fight with cousin William.  
 7.   Visit with very loud, but enjoyable brothers.
8.  Enjoy the patriotic program Aunt Marjorie put together to celebrate the 4th.
9.  Take a walk down the hill with marvelous sister-in-laws.  Feel very fortunate to have made it back up the hill. 
10.  Prepare for Clark to turn 12 tomorrow and join the ranks of young men and young women in the family.

You're awesome. You actually got out of the car to take a picture of the "Fourth of July Pass" sign. I would have driven by and lazily commented to Jesse about it, but it does make for a memorable blog picture!! I love the one of (some) of us sister-in-laws! You ladies are so wonderful!!!
