4th of July

We had another great 4th of July. Started with the pancake breakfast and flag raising at church and ended with a night of fun with friends. We swam, ate, and shot fireworks. At first Amelia was terrified of the fireworks and insisted on going back inside. I bribed her with a glow stick and cookie, then she was able to sit on my lap and watch. After a while she started enjoying the fireworks and was asking for more at the end of the night.
