Story

The Wagners were going to the firework show in Mapleton and invited us to join them so they could hand off Cooper. Tara and the girls went. I stayed back and photographed all the puzzles from the IPP party. I also edged and mowed the lawn and refilled the bird feeder. Apparently I missed out because the fireworks show was reportedly the second largest in the nation just behind New York City. I'm not sure if that's actually true or not, but they said it was really good.
