Our family celebrated the actual 4th with just as much of a bang as the 3rd. We went over to Rachel and David's house (kid's friends) around noon for swimming and BBQ until the late afternoon. There were no fireworks going off here (we were in the backyard with a bunch of kids), but Claire and Landon love swimming and playing on the playset with their "BEST" friends. Rachel and David are pretty much the same ages as Claire and Landon and therefore make the perfect playdate for us...and we get together often! Afterwards, we headed home for a nap and then went over to a neighbor's house to celebrate some more. We ate, again, and then went out front to shoot off what fireworks were left from the night before. This was still a huge display and lots of fun to watch! Landon enjoyed the sparklers, and actually let me take a picture of him doing one. Claire enjoyed sitting in the back of the neighbor's truck to watch the fireworks. This happened the night before also, and therefore is now the "cool" thing to do with her friends. It was an earlier night, but not by much. This morning, the kids slept in until 9:45!!! Geoff and I were so glad, for we needed a little extra sleep also! What will we do today? Well, since it has been raining off and on, NOTHING!!! And that is just way this family needs it! I hope everyone had a safe and celebratory 4th!

Seeing Landon with his sparkler reminds me of his birthday cake. Hopefully he didn't get too close this time!! Sounds like you guys had a great time! We watched the fireworks from Lucy's window....could see them for all directions...very pretty, but very LOUD!!!
We watched fireworks from our driveway, Fred and Staci and the Svitak bros were at Kelly and Heather's shooting fireworks in the chruch parking lot, some were quite spectacular. (Not as
spectacular as Peabody, but we didn't have to leave home) We were remembering how much fun Landon had last year shotting fireworks with Unkie. Sounds like you did lots of celebrating.
