4th of July

Independence Day is a fun holiday for us. It is a time for family and cookin' out! Every year we grill, make corn on the cob, and have family and friends over. One of the perks of our house is that we live about three-quarters of a mile from the park that the City of Moore holds their annual fireworks show. We can sit in the back yard and watch fireworks! Yippee! We haven't gone anywhere in nine years on the Fourth. It's nice not having to deal with traffic and being able to just walk outside to get a good view. This year we bought sparklers and snap-pops to try out. The girls have never experienced fireworks close up. Lauren was a little scared of them. Her eyes were like saucers when we lit the first sparkler. Anna loved it! Candi didn't like it very much. The snap-pops were fun. We threw them and made lots of noise (and mess). It was lots of fun. The fireworks were awesome! They had some new ones that would explode, stop, and then go in different directions. It was really cool! As you can tell, I'm an ooo-aaahh kind of girl. It was hard to get a good picture of the fireworks, but here are a couple pics from our night:
