We had such a nice 4th of July this year! Hope every one else did, too! Don surprised us and came home early ~ just in time for the neighborhood fireworks. It is so different for us here in Florida ~ fireworks are LEGAL. So, right out our front door, we had a huge fireworks display. Not just the little sparklers, either....But the BIG ONES!
Don made patriotic cocktails with raspberries and blueberries ~ (next year I want to try these martinis), I made a cheesecake for the kids ( I might have had a bite or two ~ giggle) , and we sat outside most of the night. It was such a FUN time! One of my favorite moments was watching Sarah and Ryan hold sparklers for the first time! I caught some fun pics of their faces:
This last one cracks me up! How did Sarah know to strike
the PERFECT Statue of Liberty pose?? LOL! Gotta love that little girl!
God Bless America!
Happy 4th of July to our family! What a fun evening you had...sparklers are my personal favorite! You captured a very enjoyable family evening with these photos.

Your ssparkler shots turned out so well!!!
I stepped on a hot sparkler and had to soak my foot for an hour in ice water.
My family wishes they had it all on film.
But thank goodness, they do not :o)
