Happy 4th!

For the 4th of July most people watch fireworks. I watch my kids watch fireworks...

The girls did a great job waiting patiently for the fireworks show to begin.

We watched lots of paper lanterns being released into the sky as darkness fell.

Then the real show began. Every year we join Craig's parents at the Sandy Pines for a spectacular show with minimal stress. Georgia is obviously having a horrible time :)

We weren't sure how Sofia was going to handle the fireworks. Last year she slept through them. Well this year she rotated laps for a while until she ended up in her own chair chanting "boom!" after every explosion.

 I didn't get a good photo of her but I did capture this...

Lovely...

Each year this holiday becomes a little more fun and a little less crazy. One day I'm sure the girls won't want to go see fireworks with me or in the very least they won't let me take crazy photos of them watching fireworks. In light of that I intend to enjoy every sleep deprived moment of this very loud, late night holiday.

Happy 4th of July everyone... and if you live in my neighborhood please note it is now the 8th of July which means the 4th has passed and with it the need to be obnoxious with your own lame but obscenely loud fireworks has also expired so save the rest for labor day people, or dump em in the lake.
