Just a couple days before the 4th of July we made plans for my family to come to our house to celebrate. We started kind of late in the day since it was so hot (about 100')and barbequed, let the kids play in the little pool and jump on the trampoline. Those in attendance were Eric, Wendy and boys, Laura and girls, Mom, Grandma Z, & Cherie and kids.
I totally forgot to take pictures until the end of the day when we finally started fireworks. Jon had quite the plethora of legal fireworks this year and near the end there were some impressive ones. There was one I had never seen before. It was like a long strip of flypaper with a little box at the top. It had to be hung from something (which Jon utilized our basketball hoop) and lit from the bottom. So it sparkles all the way up the strip and then the box explodes a spray of sparks. It took most of us by surprise and made poor Grandma practically jump out of her seat.
It was quite a late night after all the fireworks but it was fun.
