Along with the Zoo, we also had a great 4th of July cook out with friends! As a child, I always looked forward to July 4th. It was tradition for our family to go to a barbecue with family friends, swim and at the end, go drive up to the desert and sit on the family station wagon to watch the fireworks display! This year was strikingly similar to my childhood memories, only I was now the parent watching my kids run around getting excited for the fireworks.
Lily having fun, but being cautious
Sophie not too sure about this...
This year, we ate some delicious BBQ'd ribs made with authentic Kansas love. My Key Lime pie never set and MaryKay's sweet potato-potato salad was crunchy. At least we tried! We're just working out the kinks for next year...
A couple of the guys pitched in and bought firecrackers and sparklers for the kids and we set them off. The kids were all so amazed and the mommies were all so paranoid (fire hazard! fire hazard!). We could still see the various fireworks displays going on around the city and especially on the drive home. We were so tired when we got home and the kids were happy to have had such a fun time. We're all still recuperating from the fun! Matt and I must be getting old if staying out past 11pm makes us tired!
Happy Fourth of July!
