Independence Day

Happy 236th Birthday America!

Last year my parents were visiting and we actually spent the holiday with them and went to a party with some of our church family. This year however we spent the day at home, Gino and Isabel went out and got some fireworks to do after dark. Our “show” didn’t go on as long as some of the neighbors who keep it up until 2 a.m.

Our BBQ dinner was a juicy steak and corn on the cob. Yum! For dessert we had a patriotic fruit tart pie with raspberries and blueberries. Yum! Yum!

For less then $100 bucks, Gino got a decent package of fireworks but way to many sparklers! Isabel even got some of her “snaps” that she enjoys so much!

Waiting for our little show to begin.
She did OK until I got up to do sparklers and then she wanted to go in the house.
I even got her to hold a sparkler; for about 10 seconds!

This was like our little finally with lots of smoke!

Sparklers!

After the sun went down it got really cool, so had to get our jackets.

After all the “big” stuff, we just did sparklers and more sparklers.

Happy Independence Day!
