Any Plans for *This* Friday :)

We're staying in Warren, but the next two days the kids are bowling down at Skore in Taylor. We've been as far as Waterford and as close as Sterling and Sunnybrook. It's been a chaotic week so far trying to schedule stuff between the bowling (for 12 families and several coaches), but I will say the $4.05 a gallon gas is making us smile. We'll be returning to $4.73 no doubt.

MagnetMom, where did you stay in Detroit? I didn't know cos I left for my mini vacation on July 3rd, otherwise I would've love to chat with you. Did you guys have an opportunity to go to the henry Ford Museum and Village??

What an interesting experience! Coming from California, home of tinder-dry brush, the kids were treated to the spectacle of home-blown fireworks. We've never seen neighborhood displays that rivaled that of Disneyland. Amazing!

I'm not sure I want to see people lighting off fireworks in their front lawns, but driving down the street it was truly amazing.

All sound like great ideas. I'll be travelling to Detroit with a dozen kids who are competing this week for spots on Jr Team USA in bowling. So it's not a traditional 4th with hot dogs and fireworks, but we are thinking about and trying to represent our country. Too bad we get there too late to celebrate Canada day :)
