4th of July 2011

We had such a fun 4th this year! After the parade and party in the park we had everyone over for a BBQ and scavenger hunt. The kids were SO wound up and excited for fireworks. We did a bunch of sparklers and cones out in front of the house and had planned on heading over to the BIG Oak Hills fireworks show. At the last minute, we decided to try a spot over at Claremont - just a couple of blocks away and there was NO ONE there! We had a perfect view of the fireworks... no crowds or traffic. The kids all huddled together on the blanket and repeatedly asked every 10 seconds..."Is this the grand finale?" It only took 2 minutes to get home and everyone settled into their beds. It was a great weekend!
