4th of July weekend...in pictures!

Name of the acreage we live on.


Pics of the at home fireworks. A few different days included...


The most anticipated fire cracker of all was, the Tank.
turns out, it wasn't what it was cracked up to be... ha, I slay myself.

I love the above picture of J's face, it looks so intense; they're just sparklers, babe. 

In line for the local Fireworks Show.
A lot of people attended, more than I thought even existed in this tiny township I call home :) .  

We enjoyed a fun and relaxing 4th of July weekend. The kids were excited and giddy the whole time; which makes their Mama happy, too. In addition to popping off several of our own fireworks here at home, we attended the local firework show. And I have one word to describe it : AWESOME!
Call me crazy, but I was literally thinking (and vocalizing) that the Show (being local and put on by a small township) would just be "something fun for the kids to watch" ...but boy was I wrong! This was hands down the best firework show I have ever seen! The grand finale was somethin' else...it shoulda made the papers, I tell ya!
It's also a tradition of ours to review and discuss the Declaration of Independence on or around the 4th of July. I say "review" because we all know that there's no way on this green earth that my children are going sit still long enough to read that whole thing! dream on!



All n'all, it was good times y'all!

How fun - your little girl has so much hair. Super cute. And I love reviewing the Declaration of Independence around 4th of July - I just might steal that idea for our family. Yah, I hear ya on the fireworks, but then I remind myself it's because I'm used to Stillwater fireworks...
