Fourth of July

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We had friends and family from the Twin Cities visiting. Ben celebrated his 32nd birthday. Clare went on her first brewery tour. (She is a Wisconsinite, after all.) We ate and talked and drank beer (I had half a beer. It tasted so. good.)  and watched World Cup soccer. It was so nice having people around - although by the end of the weekend we were so exhausted from lack of naps that we decided to skip the fireworks. We watched fireworks on TV instead. Yes, they show fireworks on TV.  (We also launched fireworks at my parents' house. Shhh...don't tell them. One was called a dragon fart. It was not as cool as you might think.)
