Independance Day

Today we had a BBQ at our house to eat some food and set off some fireworks to celebrate our nation's birthday with our families. We had a blast, literally! We stayed entertained watching Ema play in the pool and sand box until it got dark enough to light the fireworks. They weren't the biggest ones that you can buy, but they were perfect for our little celebration. The bright colors and loud pops were a pleasant surprise to Ema.
She liked everything until the bottle rockets that sounded like gun shots went off. They were a little loud for her. She did, however, enjoy the sparklers and even held one until a little sparkle reached her arm.

We are planning on going to Pike County's Fourth of July Celebration in Zebulon on Tuesday to watch the "real" fireworks and to help man the church booth passing out balloons to the community. Hope to see some of you there!
