4th of July flag

We made sure we were home in time to do our traditional driveway painting for the 4th of July. 

We decided on a eagle design.  For the first time ever we started taping out the design the night before. We were trying to beat the heat. There were some dark clouds looming, but we were hopeful it wouldn't be a problem.







Just as we were finishing up it stared raining.  We kept our fingers crossed that the tape would stay in place.  We set our alarm for 7:00am, and went out right away to check on it.


This is what was left.  Very disappointing! We had to start all over again.




 
It went well, and wasn't too hot for us.  We finished in about 3 1/2 hrs.  It turned out great, but we were having some issues with the blue paint.  It was cracking an peeling for some reason. Looked good anyways.
 

 
Love our tradition!
