We are operating in a very short window of time when we can control how and when they celebrate their birthdays. Will had an unavoidable business trip on the night of July 5 so we just told them that they both had a birthday on July 4. No one seemed to argue or contend that fact. (One could argue that with the international dateline, Lucy's birthday is July 4 when celebrated in Colorado...if we had to get technical.)
Will got to have the day off and we went to the pool. The club pool was having a 4th of July party complete with a band, water ballon contests and treats. They simply thought that this was part of their day - even strangers were getting in on the scene! After rest time, just Tenzin and Elizabeth, Lucy's godparents; Kathy Dragon; and the Buckley/Hunter family came to help us celebrate with bbq, watermelon, cake, and "loud but legal" fireworks.
