I had a dream


Our Fourth of July ---unfortunately, I didn't really take very many pictures. Micah and the boy's started the morning going running (Micah runs; boys ride their bikes beside.) They had a nasty run in with a couple of dogs who were running for them full speed as if they were going to rip them apart. Micah grabbed some pebbles to throw as a deterrent, after upgrading to golf ball size rocks the dogs let off although still barking ferociously. A few min. later some guy in a red truck drives along side Micah and starts cussing him out for "cruelty to animals" etc. Micah has been bit by a dog before and these are mean dogs (I've experienced them as well) and he said they had that same look as the dog that bit him. For all that know Micah he likes dogs, he grew up with dogs, but you have to make dogs that mean. Micah kept trying to end the conversation and wishing the "lovely gentleman" a nice day, to which he kept trying to start a new fight with Micah. Finally, Micah said, "Sir, You've got some real problems" and that was finally enough to shut him up and get rid of him. Oddly enough he had a dream that night before that Mean dogs came in our house and were attacking us.

Later, We went to our friends' the Sessions house, BBQ'd and I made some of my yummy potato salad. The kids swam in their pool (It is one of those 3'x10' ish --big enough for kids, but only big enough to tempt adults) Then everyone that came brought whatever fireworks they had and we had quite the array of fireworks) They also have a great view of the Valley which we were able to see Boise's, Eagles, and Meridian's? fireworks I'm not sure about that last one but their were 3 huge displays we could see. Then midway through our own fireworks display, the hill behind our friend's house caught on fire...as well as some fields and a bunch of backyards of people that lived on a golf course next to where the fire was. The kids were a bit worried. It looked like the fire was close and would burn the field behind their house but it was actually far from that. My friend had also dreamt that night before, that there was a fire in the field behind their house and she was worried about it reaching them--to which her husband (in the dream ) said "it's nothing don't worry, go to sleep"

The picture is Jaks. He doesn't like too many loud fireworks and plus I think he was getting worried about the fire. So this is Jacksen not enjoying the fireworks anymore. :)

♡ Loud plus big and then you add dogs in there, yeah that would scare me too! My heart jumps if a dog behind a fence barks at me.

That's awesome that you guys could see 3 sets of fireworks! I love the BIG works! :)
