4th of July

Its been over a week since barbeques were one fire, and so were the skies. And in my true slacker fashion- Im just now blogging about it. ;) Big surprise.

Anyway- as many of you did, we had an absolute blast on the 4th. The family came over to our house and we feasted on traditional summer time foods- hamburgers, hot dogs, and salads. Once the food was gone and the sun started to set, the REAL fun began...

There were sparklers for close to an hour. With 3 families buying them, we got a little carried away. "Ummm... Ill take...."

"This one!"

"Happy 'Merica!" (thats my cutie patootie nephew. one of them anyway)

Another nephew with my kid

My neice- just cause shes cute (thats her brother in the picture above)

Once the sparklers were done, they busted out the big guns. Heres the whole arsenal lined up on the tailgate...

Despite the blogosphere's best intentions, I didnt read a single one of the "how to photograph fireworks" posts that were all over. Which means all my fireworks shots looked something like this-
oh well! Theres always next year! I cant wait!
