Fourth, Fashion and Fire

We decided to host the fourth in the cul de sac this year. We pooled our fireworks with the Flynns and Petersons. 

That was just enough to get a little sparkler action:

 A smattering of smoke bombs:

And three dad's discussing strategy for the "big stuff"

And a little grainy camera footage from that plan well and truly blowing up: 

If you can't see what that is, it's a still shot of our driveway...and fire everywhere. Somehow we escaped without injury or damage to the neighbor's homes. It might be divine intervention. 

One more thing....do you see those cute shirts the girls are wearing? Those were 100% the result of Mark taking them out to find cute clothes for the occasion. He did great letting them all pick out their own style of red, white and blue!
