The fourth is really my favorite holiday. There is NO pressure, and I LOVE holidays like that. Most holidays are filled with thoughts of the things I would have loved to do, but just never had the time to plan or execute. Other holidays *ahem* *Christmas* *ahem* are filled with so much preparation that I am just exausted by the time they arrive. But the fourth-of-July is (a) in the middle of the summer, (b) supposed to be filled with swimming, BBQ, laziness, and fireworks, and (c) not filled with gift-giving or budgeting or dressing up.
So, this year on the fourth we spent some time with some great friends and their family....
There was some fishing...
Some swimming...
...and a fantastic fireworks show, supplemented by the Wild Water Adventure's show in the distance.
Afterward, the girls enjoyed sparklers galore. This was the first year Hannah wasn't freaked out by these, and Claire didn't really know better than to go along with the fun. :-)
Happy Fourth! ...of August!!
