Happy Independance Day!!!

Wow, 4th of July already?
Today was a lot of fun. The Bubs is finally old enough to participate in the fireworks and to really enjoy them. We usually stay home on the 4th since we get such a good show from our neighbors. I swear they all invite their friends and family that live in firework-free counties and they all pool their funds since several shows around us look (almost) professional. This year was no different. We started early with the little poppers which were a huge hit. Later, after it got dark we pulled out the fire pit, hooked up with the neighbors for some smores and fireworks, and all was well until the inevitable sparkler burn.
It's almost like a right of passage though, as sad as it is. I still remember the 1st time I grabbed one of those hot metal sticks in the dark and got blistered from it. Some hugs and Toy Story Band-aids and we were right on track again.
