The plan was for grandma to go home with her too, but I begged her to stay, and was willing to.

We also got news today that due to COVID-19, the Wenatchee School District would be starting the fall online, rather than in face to face instruction.

Fourth of July 2020

This Fourth of July was one where we weren't all together. 

Dave was called in for an emergency at 1 AM and didn't get back home until noon.

He fell asleep once he got home. 

Presley and Harper were invited to Lake Chelan by the Berry's, and we let Presley drive there and they stayed the night at their cabin. 

Logan stayed the night at Colby's house with a big group of boys. 

Presley, Logan and I watched Hamilton on Disney+ this morning. 

It was amazing!

We took a picture before Presley and Harper left, but Dad was still gone. 

Rylan and Chewy with his festive collar. 

At Lake Chelan

Thats Harper and her friend in the intertube.

The girls loved, loved, loved the boating!  They've got some Legard in them :)

Dave, Ry and I had a platter dinner. 

Presley made us jello before she left. 

 Harper texted me this picture of the fireworks from where the boat they were all watching them from. 

Presley and her 2 best girlfriends. 

Dave and Chewy went to bed before the Wenatchee fireworks started so Ry and I watched them from our deck, and then went to bed. 

Dave took Chewy to sleep with him before the fireworks and Dave was so tired and already asleep, we aren't really sure how Chewy did during the show. 

I took this picture on the morning of July 5th so I hope he wasn't up and scared and felt alone in the room with Dave, who was asleep and wasn't comforting him.  

He's sleeping here like he might have had a wild and long night.  Poor puppy!
