In case you were wondering
This is what Dan does with any free second he has. He built everything you see from scratch, except the engine. Pretty amazing huh? Its nice to have our own railroad in the back yard, Emma's petshops and doll house people especially appreciate it :)

Happy Independence Day
We had a relaxing holiday. Just hanging out at the old homestead. Not doing anything. It was great. We barbecued for dinner, made ice cream clowns/monkeys/blobs, sang happy birthday dear America and then headed up to Dixon to watch the fireworks with our friends the Bairs. We fought traffic for about 10 seconds on the way home from the sun flower field where we parked. It was awesome!
I did miss the salt water taffy that my parents always have. The most memorable 4th of July for me was when my dad blew his hand off with a flower firecracker...that was the best! He was showing my brothers how to throw them when it went off in his hand. My mom put it in a bucket of ice and hightailed it to the ER. He had to wear a huge bandage that looked like a boxing glove for a long long time after that. Lesson learned daddy-o!!! Never light firecrackers in your hand.
Emma's clown and Dan's monkey....mine wasn't worth taking a picture of.
