We did GG's birthday on the 4th of July like usual.  GG said it was a great birthday and one of her best. The weather was beautiful so we were able to eat outside which she loves to do. She got a couple of dark chocolate candy bars that she loves and a waffle maker. She also got the also salt she wanted. It is basically fake salt since she is on a low salt diet. Jessie made her a heart with the two of them on it and Brandon did a birthday dance for her.  She also got a gift card to Walgreens which she loves because she does most of her shopping over there since she can walk over.  She also received crossword puzzles.  She likes to do a couple a day. The wind only came up really bad once while we were eating cake. Since we couldn't do fireworks because of the burn ban, we had to get creative. We did bubbles and silly string and when it got dark, we played with light up toys.  Even GG gets a kick out of the light up stuff. For the bubbles we had a bubble maker and wands and the electric wands. If you want giant bubbles get the bubble swords. Don't get colored bubbles though they are messy and the color doesn't show up except to stain your clothes.  The silly string was a big sucess as usual. We do that every year because Brandon loves it.  In some ways it was even better than fireworks because it was more interactive and the kids were moving so they didn't get as tired.  Everyone had a lot of fun and it was an earlier night which was fine since some of us had to get up for work the next day. All in all a great holiday.
