The 4th was a fun day this year.
It was HOT!  blah! We got the sprinklers and the pool out to cool things down and ate way too much all day long.  I always eat ridiculous amounts of food on Holidays .. .WHY?!?  So annoying and YUMMY!!  
Audrey had a little stomach bug all day, but she slept a lot and battled through it, little sweetheart.
My family and our good friends The Neils came over to celebrate.  We spent the day eating (of course), cleaning up a little barf (poor baby Audrey), doing some patriotic crafts (THANKS Hayley!!) and later lighting fireworks out in the street.  Great way to celebrate, eh?! Well, except for the puke part.  :-)
Lily HATES fireworks.  Seriously, HATES them.  Kaleb lit a little fountain in the road and she started screaming like she was seriously injured and bee lined it for the back yard. . . . ha ha ha!  I wish I would have gotten that on video.  We got her calmed down a bit and she nervously enjoyed the mild fireworks we had purchased, mainly consisting of sparklers and snakes.  Mild.  Silly girl.
I really enjoy the 4th of July.  Anything patriotic touches my heart.  What a wonderful day!!
We are blessed to live where we do.

*Thanks for the hilarious headbands G.G.!!
