We had a fairly quiet 4th of July celebration this year. We had invited our friends, the Roberts family, over for a BBQ dinner. They brought some sparklers and a few fireworks to share. We decided that since we had early church the next morning, it would be easier to get the kids all bathed and ready for bed before we started doing fireworks.
We all got back together after it was dark and kids were in their PJs. We started with a few sparklers on the back patio. I don't think any of our kids have done sparklers before, so they all thought it was pretty cool.
Then we went around to the driveway for the other fireworks. We also enjoyed watching the various displays around the city. Although they were pretty far away, we had a decent view of some of the bigger shows.
The kids were all pretty impressed with the small fireworks we set off in the driveway. It doesn't take much to elicit lots of "oohs" and "aahs"!
Brian had wanted to drive down to watch the big city display this year, but we didn't make it. (That was partly my fault because I was just as happy to stay home.) We'll make another effort next year!
