Happy 4th of July


4th of July was a big event at our house this year (at least it was for Alex). Alex could hardly wait to go to the fireworks stand to make that special purchase of sparklers and fountains. I was surprised how readily he took the sparklers and waved them through the air. We even got to watch professional firework shows from our deck. I'm not sure where they were going off, but it was great not carting two little kids to a football field in the middle of a hot sticky night (9 o'clock is the middle of the night for Hannah) just to see a few sparkles in the air for about 15 minutes. All of us had a very nice day. We went to our neighbor's house for a barbecue and waved a few sparklers then came home and watched a few more fireworks. Maybe next year we can attempt to venture to a football field; I know it will be many years before we attempt to go to the National Mall for the 4th. Anyway, Happy Birthday America!! We enjoyed the celebration!!
