We kicked of the month with a big 4th of July Bash. Burke smoked 30 lbs of meat and we had dozens of our friends over to help us eat it all. San Antonio outlawed firework displays of any kind so we settled for a glow stick display. We had a great time.
We studied the American Revolution in our Funshine Summer School. The girls learned all about our fight for independence and JJ especially began to understand how important our freedom is. We made Yankee Doodle Hats and learned the origins of the song. Have you ever wondered why they called the feather “macaroni”? We learned that “macaroni” was a term the English used to describe a decoration or accessory one used to make themselves look grand. Isn’t school great!
Through the month the girls and I kept busy with various play group activities. Some of our favorites included a trip to the river bank at the Zoo and Chukee Cheese.
