July 4, 2012

   For some reason my kids count the Fourth of July as one of their favorite holidays.  We very rarely are visiting family on this day, so our celebration is pretty minimal.  If they knew what the rest of the country was doing today (BBQs, parades, fireworks, parties) they'd probably feel pretty short-changed.
  This year we did manage to set up a kiddie pool on the patio and go to fireworks at night.

I couldn't resist the pigtails.  They lasted about an hour until she remembered they were there and promptly pulled them out.

Because you need goggles in a pool this size.

Light-stick battle while waiting for the fireworks.

Finally dark enough for the fireworks to begin.



Zonked at the end of the night.
