The Fourth

Since the days leading up to the Fourth were very busy, we decided to chill on Independence Day.

We of course had Grandma Jane's Lemon's Reunion in her backyard at Noon, just like every other year. So we hit that up with some fruit, and brought home the leftovers to eat with our SteakKabobs we were marinating for dinner. They were so yum!

 And then we seriously just played. 

Vince and Jack just can't resist trying to kill each other. 

 And James LOVED throwing my flags through the slats in the rail. 

We had everyone in the circle and tons of family over for fireworks in the driveway, which Vince deserves an award for. We had no idea there would be so many kids and he helped each one get a chance to light a firework. Good man, I wanted to kill them all and send them to bed!

I purposefully didn't buy Sparklers because I HATE THEM! But the neighbors brought over like a TON and we did sparklers FOREVER. I hate them. They give me panic attacks. I had to go lay down for a minute. 

But it really was a great 4th! Happy Birthday America!
