We didn't go to see fireworks this year, but we still had a fun 4th of July. We cleaned the church in the morning, went to the beach in the afternoon, and had a campfire in our backyard that night. I just bought this fire pit at a yard sale for $8 about a month ago, and we've used it at least one a week. We love it!
On the way home from the beach, we stopped in Templeton (where fireworks are legal) and bought some sparklers.
I love slow speed sparkler pictures!
We stayed up really late eating s'mores and occasionally catching a glimpse of fireworks from the top of our swingset. For some reason we just weren't in the mood to face the crowds this year.
Toasting a marshmallow with a sparkler. I don't think they ate it though, b/c I warned them it might be toxic!
It was a fun night, and no one got hurt!
We saved a box of sparklers for Spencer - he was out with friends, doing their own fireworks in Templeton then watching the ones downtown Paso. He got home just as we were finishing up. Then Dave and the 4 oldest boys woke up really early the next morning to go rock climbing.
