Our Fourth of July was pretty low key. We watched "National Treasure" during the afternoon (to stay out of the heat), grilled for dinner, and had rootbeer floats for dessert.
Then for the real treat... fireworks! The boys had a great time playing with some small fireworks that Rich picked up.
Lydia and I hung out on the grass while the boys played with fire. She's just so cute (even in the less flattering pictures) that I need to share all the pictures.
The last thing we did were sparklers. We are mean parents and don't let them stay up until it's dark! One day I guess we will.... but it wasn't this year!
After we took baths and got into bed we let the boys look out the windows and watch some of the fireworks that were going off around the valley. We have a pretty good view from upstairs!
We sure are grateful for the wonderful country that we live in, the people who defend it, and the freedoms that we enjoy.
looks like you had a blast!!!! We will have to invite you as honorary members next year to our block party :)
