"Where Liberty Is, There Is My Country." -Benjamin Franklin

We started off our Fourth of July at a British Medieval Faire at Christ Church in Radyr, and why not?



Later on in the evening, we did it up right with hot dogs, hamburgers, fife and drum music and even our own fireworks show. My American friend Kim and her family were among our guests, and we all enjoyed watching her two-year-old Kyle respond to the fireworks. It was a pretty even blend of excitement, delight, and terror. Emma and Sophie also enjoyed palling around with little Kyle. By the end of the evening Emma had decided that, as much fun as he was, she is glad I am having another girl. "Little boys are a LOT of work!" she said, "I cleaned up everything he wrecked, but it wasn't easy!!"
