Happy Independence Day!

We celebrated the 4th of July with a neighborhood picnic. We invited all the neighbors on our street and surprisingly all were able to come with the exception of one or two families. It was a blast! We had hot dogs and ribs and other delicious picnic-y foods and then once it got dark enough, we had a terrific show of 'fireworks'. Almost everyone brought some fireworks so it was a big show. Some of our favorites were  'Pink Ice', 'Mad Dog', and 'Surfs Up'. It was a great opportunity to get to know our neighbors better and celebrate our freedom. Hope everyone else had a great 4th of July too.
