Patriotic Fun

Happy Monday!!  Wow, I can't believe that the 4th of July is this coming weekend!  To introduce Munchkin to the fun of Independence Day, this week's Munchkin Theme is Fourth of July.  I was surprised to find several books about the Fourth of July.  He's still too young to understand the true significance of the day, but not to have some patriotic fun!  Here's our line up for this week...

Our city's annual Regetta is the Fourth of July weekend, so we'll be headed down to that for some afternoon fun.  Then back to the suburbs for evening festivites and fireworks :)
