4th of July, Freel-style

Man, what a bust of a day! First of all, would anyone believe the thermometer would say THIS 100 miles from the Arctic Circle?


We tried to go out to the North Pole parade, but it was very hot and after a few false starts to the parade, Timmy was done with a capital D. So we came home and put everyone down for a well deserved nap. Unfortunately it was too hot for us all to sleep long...so we went headed to Fairbanks for a taste of Hot Licks ice cream and shopping at Joann's. Connor has been fascinated with birds lately; we talk about their various sounds, houses, babies, etc during our morning nature walks. So when he saw a birdhouse on sale at Joann's, I gave in to the "OH I NEEEEEED ONE MOM!" ejaculations.

Here's Connor painting his house...too bad I hadn't finished his work apron yet. Oh well, check out that manly physique!


And here's the "finished" product...beautiful, eh?


We're hoping to declare independence from the heat wave. Think of us sweating at the top of the world!
