Happy Fifth of July!

Well, yesterday was the Fourth and we celebrated with our town's fireworks. We sat in the VIP section with my husband's work and ate, visited and had fun with friends while we awaited the fireworks. Then all of a sudden, gusts of wind and down came the rain! We still got to see the fireworks...as we ran to the truck! Our kids don't really care about the fireworks anyway. They see them during football season right by our house for every home game. It's old news to them! This year we decided to do something different...We bought our own fireworks. Simple stuff, like sparklers, chasers, a few other popping stuff but nothing major. All kid friendly...or so it says! Since it rained on the fourth, we did our celebration in the backyard (don't tell the police) on the fifth. What's that saying, "It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt"? Yeah, well...sparklers can be dangerous if given to our children, apparently. Aidan burned his foot, Makayla burned her arm. The good news is that they burned themselves and not each other! Gotta see the glass half full, you know! Anyway, Happy Independence Day, friends...I hope you and yours had a good one!!
