And The Rockets Red Glare

We had a great independence day, celebrating with Richard's family.  We cooked burgers and watched the kids play in the yard, while the adults visited.

Of course, there was homemade ice cream to be had, and fireworks to be watched, but our crew didn't make it through the entirety of the show.  I've always been amazed at what a grand fireworks show our little town manages to put on every year.

My mom gave the kids some precious little outfits they wore for the festivities.  I LOVE bubbles on little girls.  Love 'em!  So stinkin' cute!  And I love little girl's white sandals, too.  There's something about the two that screams SUMMER IN THE SOUTH!  And then there's the handsome little dude, that makes me laugh and melts my heart in his flag t-shirt.

Thanks for our outfits, Sita!
