The fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. It's always filled with hanging outdoors, barbecues, warm weather, hot dogs and all things America. It is also Natalie's birthday, which always adds another reason for celebration. We lit off little fireworks that we found in a box in the attic and ran around the yard with sparklers. The following day we packed too many people in Natalie's van and drove to the beach. The car felt like it was going to break down the entire time I was driving down the highway and the air conditioning was broken. It just meant driving with the windows down and the music blasting. At the beach we made Manuel into a mermaid (how beautiful is he?), spent time soaking in the sun and cooling off in the waves. Sitting in the backseat on the drive home and having our bodies touching at every possible point was so hot, the only relief was pressing my face close to the open window. There is a heatwave that has been making the days unbearably hot, but the nights are pleasantly warm.
