the 4th fun continues after dark

We kept the kids up to see the fireworks. Another perk about where we live is that you can see the fireworks from our front yard. It was the gathering place for several of our neighbors and their kids. One of the moms brought over some poppers, snake-things, sparklers and a couple bigger things that lit up for the kids. We put Andy in charge of the pyrotechnic display, probably because we had some matches. The kids liked it all. They created a small fire at the street corner and ran around with the sparklers. Ewan threw his back at Andy and then later apoligized for throwing "fire" at Andy.







Here are the kids, lined up, watching Andy light what we thought was a rocket, but turned out to be something that lit up and then made a bunch of noise. There were 3, and each was just as exciting as the first to the kids. The 4th of July is becoming one of my favorite holidays with moments like these!
