We spent it at Brett's house again, together with Locke and Carlo's families. We brought the big fireworks, plus sparklers and poppers. The kids splashed in the pool, and the adults chatted, and everyone ate till they were stuffed. The men did an ill-advised "hot pepper" challenge with ghost peppers and Carolina Reapers -- and there were lots of tears and coughing (from them) and laughter (from the rest of us). Baby Eliza was so cute! And some friends from Brooke's hometown rounded out the crew.
Cece and CC have really clicked the last few times we've seen them. It's sweet! Cece is younger than CC, but they have a lot in common -- they are both very artistic, and are avid readers. We've already made plans to go see Cece in a musical she's performing in next week, and Penny wants to come see Sweet Pea in her upcoming Nightingale cirque performance.
I'm so thankful for great friends, and for our wonderful country!
