The 4th

We had another wonderful 4th of July here. The weather was beautiful for plenty of outdoor water play and then a great fireworks show in the evening. Buster was a very happy boy ALL day long. He literally did not cry at all. He sucked his pacifier pretty vigorously throughout the fireworks, but he actually seemed impressed :).

The girls enjoyed running through the sprinklers to cool off. This toy shoots balls into the air and they would chase after them and then run back through the water to do it all over again.

Boo is finally old enough to be an active participant in these types of activities. She loves being a big girl.

It was so cute to watch Tea put the balls back down the spout. She got such a kick out of it!

Per tradition, we ate cake made to look like the American flag. Yum!

The girls were really afraid of the sparklers. You can't tell from this picture, but they really only held them for a second. Last year Midge was burned (nothing serious) and I think it scared them.

The King and Rod were our official "lighters." I think they enjoyed it a little too much.

I hope everyone else had a wonderful Holiday weekend!!
