{ Happy Fourth of July }
This year was quite low key as we celebrated the Fourth of July.
We had a lazy morning around the house, then made our way to my parents for dinner and some experiments. I clearly remember as a young girl having my Dad put gun powder in a hole in the center of our cul-de-sac and making a ball of fire go up into the sky. I'm sure now it would appear like a small after thought, but as a young child it was HUGE. Dad was always into blowing stuff up and seeing what type of reaction he could get from me and my siblings.
So, when our kids asked if Papa would help them blow some apples up he was quick to dart outside, socks and all, and assist in the fun.
After dinner and some black cats as well as cleaning up the apple mess, we headed home to put the littles to bed on time and attempt to sleep through the boom and bangs of the celebratory community.
Here's a little slice of the fourth adventures...
