HAPPY 4TH OF JULY (YES I KNOW IT'S THE 11th)

This is Pyper and her sparkler.  Well I guess it's more sparkler than Pyper.
We had so much fun this year!  I LOVED spending our last Ohio 4th of July in Idaho!  We spent the day with the Cox's (well- they all have new names now... but they will always be the Cox's to me!)
Scout, Elle, Mazie, and Savannah on their way to the fireworks.
Obviously- these pictures are in no particular order.  Before the fireworks, we had a barbecue at Chelsea's house.  After I found Crew in the baby pool in her backyard (fully clothed) I stripped him down and let him play.  The other kids thought it was a pretty good idea- because next thing you know, there are 4 naked kids running around the yard.  It doesn't matter how little water there is- Crew finds way to dunk his head.
This was the first year my kids got to do the fireworks in the driveway thing.  It was a HUGE hit!
Babies and sparklers.
This was the first year since we moved that it really FELT like the 4th of July.  It's just not that big of a deal in Shaker Heights. :(  I'm not really sure why.  Kids, food, exploding things, and the occasional open flame.  What's not to love?!
This is the way to watch fireworks!
