4th of July Recap

Watching the ever-so-exciting black snakes.



Miss P being Miss P.

The 4th of July was pretty fabulous around these parts! We bought a few sparklers and other small explosives to amuse three girls under the age of 10. That kept them busy until around 9:30 or so, when the neighbors starting setting off the equivalent of a military surge. I see no way that they could have spent less than $1,000. While I personally think that's a heck of a lot of money for something that's going up in smoke, I wasn't about to criticize while the lovely display was going on. Or off. Or whatever.

It was a cool evening, so the girls took blankets out to the playset tower and curled up to enjoy the show. The grown-ups enjoyed watching the girls, who ooohed and ahhhed at pretty much everything. Then again, I may have oohed and ahhed myself - as I said earlier, there was some serious cash spent on those fireworks.

I hope you had a terrific 4th of July, too! And while we celebrated our independence, I hope you remembered the people who continue to keep our country free.
