Had a great 4th! Auntie Caroline came in town, and frankly we were all pretty lazy. We didn't try to push the girls to the symphony, parade, OR fireworks this year, and I think they appreciated it.
We blew it when we tried to do a few small fireworks at home. Dad started out by igniting a whole pack of firecrackers, making both girls cry and forcing us to revert to a smoke bomb and sparkler show through the family room window.
The Performance
A Skeptical Audience
A dear friend of mine who'd moved away came by with her three sons, bringing to my attention the differences in play styles between boys and girls. Boys + Sand + Water = Mud. Everywhere. Lots. We had a blast. When they left, Sam looked up at me and said, "That was different fun." My sister in law picked up a bubble gun, aimed it at me, then said, "This one just goes "Crunch" now."
Good fun. I'm sad I didn't get any pictures. I think I'm glad my camera was safely inside, though.
