City Fireworks

So after a day at the pool we went to see if , in the rain, the city would set of their firework show. We parked in the drive thru lane of a bank that was close to them and at 10pm sharp, off went the first firework and it lasted for 45 minutes. It was impressive. My photography skill however were not. I spent most of the time shivering in the car, it didn't feel like July at all! But the kids loved every minute of the fireworks.

'At home' fireworks

Part of the 4th of July tradition is to set off some fireworks that everyone had bought and do our own little fireworks show. We tried doing it in the rain, we had a little bit of success, but some just fizzled. I think the kids liked the parachute ones the best.

4th of July

For the 4th of July we stayed with a tradition we love and went over to families house for a cookout, swimming and fireworks. The day turned out to be cold and it rained all day but it didn't stop the kids from swimming in the pool all afternoon. There were only 2 adults brave enough to go in the water and one of them of course was Jeffery, being the dedicated Dad that he is.

The kids had a blast swimming in the rain and we all had fun hanging out for the day.
