We had a fun, laid back, damp 4th of July. The food was good, the company was great, and the kids had a blast. Our neighbors treated us to another high quality fireworks show this year, and since it was so damp we didn't have to worry about them catching any trees on fire. The rain stopped for the evening by 7, and it was nice and cool in the low 70's for fireworks. The kids were really into sparklers this year - Jake spent a long time patiently lighting sparklers for the kids one after another. They liked the poppers too, but the sparklers were the favorite. Gavin said he was a Jedi with his.
