Celebration

We had gorgeous weather for the 4th this year. It could've been a little less windy, but that seems to be the case a lot lately. The fabulously festive desserts. Yummy! The flag cake is tradition. My mom makes one every year and has for as long as I can remember.

To beat the heat the kids jumped in the sprinklers and played in the hose.

Buster was very interested in the concept of a water balloon. When his would pop he would say "uh oh" and come right over for another one.


Mema lightly showered the kids off.

Then she turned on them and cranked it up!

Then it was back to our house to watch the firework show off the mountain.

The kids danced and played while we waited what seemed like forever for the show to start.




Finally the show started. We only got to see a few though. Unfortunately we are under extreme fire danger right now and just the few fireworks shot off started another fire. It was sad for the kids and not a great ending, but I was glad to hear this morning that the fire had been contained.
