God bless America, fireworks, fruit trays, veggie platters, and the pursuit of coordinating

Happy Fourth of July everybody!!!!!!!

Ryan is VERY patriotic.

We even had a firework display of veggies.

We had the missionaries over for dinner tonight, they were thoroughly impressed.

We celebrated Independence Day yesterday with some friends, the Wood family.

They had lots of fun watching the fireworks

We also roasted marsh mellows and had smores. This was Oscar's first experience at doing it by himeself, a very proud moment for him.

And his first sparkler

This was Livy's first sparkler as well, she kept asking for more. We should have just bought $20 worth of sparklers and the kids would have loved it.

Poor Livy did not like the fireworks as much as everyone else.

We had some fireworks that flashed, this is how much the kids liked them.

We made miss Liv clean up afterward, there were 10 boxes of "pop-it's" on the ground.

The boys were carrying the fire to a "safer" location. (how safe is it to carry fire?)

We walked to their house and this was our walk home at 11:30 at night.

We had a great 4th of July, hope you did too!

We still have Monday to play and Daddy gets to hang out with us too!
