As with most holidays around here, we celebrate more than once. We had a fun weekend in the mountains with one half of the family, then it was down to Jessica's grandparents' house for the actual 4th, where we enjoy the pool all day and our own fireworks extravaganza in the street at night! It was Jack's first 4th of July and we were surprised that nothing seemed to bother him - the crackling of fireworks just feet away from him (not dangerously close, I promise I was careful!) and the many kids with their sparklers - he just stared and seemed to enjoy it.

Grandma and Grandpa bought our girls new swimsuits and they love them!
Me, with all my kids.
Above, my sister Sophie, my mom and my Alyssa enjoy the boys' fireworks display. It is such a boy job to put on a good show for us!
I believe this may be a shot of the "grand finale." The inventive boys in the group use the ladder so we girls can enjoy the falling sparks for a longer duration - how thoughtful of them!

Hi Jessica,
It looks like you had a great 4th of July! And that was nice of the guys to do a fireworks show for you. Do they still do a big show in the mountains for the 4th? Love the pic of you and the kids.
