(hubby's 6th day off work!)

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

The kids were in a bike parade in the morning with our neighborhood kids. They got to decorate their bikes patriotic and parade around the streets in our neighborhood. The fire department even showed up and let the kids check out their truck and climb inside. (Another reason I love living in a small town!)

We went to lunch with my whole family - parents, brother, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins...everyone. It was nice.

We went to a BBQ that evening at a friends house. Lots and lots and lots of yummy food (diet? what diet?)

Then we headed out to the lake to watch the fireworks.

I know there are so many articles out there on how to photograph fireworks and I had every intention of reading every single one of them. But I forgot. So I just winged it and I'm pretty happy with my results. Next year I'll make sure I'm more prepared.
