4th of July Weekend 2020

Clinton's annual Olde Glory Days celebration had to be cancelled this year due to Covid 19 Coronavirus restrictions, but that didn't stop the Arthur family from having a blast.   Amanda, Chad, Peyton and Garrison arrived on Friday, July 3 around 10:30 a.m.  We had snack-type foods for lunch with annual favorites of Mexican Corn Dip/fritos, Cocktail Weenies wrapped in Bacon (one of Peyton's favorites), and all the fixings.  Following lunch, everyone but Peyton and me played golf - Peyton and I watched a movie and visited (she was very tired from a busy week and didn't want to play games or do crafts).

The kids frosted and decorated an American flag fruit pizza with strawberries, blueberries and marshmallows.  Garrison counted the stripes - and was meticulous with the blueberries.  It was fun.

After golf, Garrison, Amanda and I frosted and decorated sugar cookies which required two batches of frosting.

By request, for dinner we ordered in Pizza Glen pizza and salads.  The kids took their showers early before we all went to the Benson Center parking lot to watch the $15,000 fireworks display - one of the best in years.  Garrison enjoyed his glow sticks.

On July 4 - The golfers went out earlier - around 9 a.m.  Peyton and I took a drive and picked yup Sonic drinks.  We played Crazy 8's and worked on lunch which the golfers joined us for around noon - pulled pork sandwiches.  Before lunch, the kids took Miss Esther some of the sugar cookies they had decorated the day before.

We had a wonderful abbreviated weekend - God is good - we are blessed.
