Here is the gang, relaxing on the grass.
Watching the fireworks.
Emma had so much fun running around on the grass.
No 4th of July would be complete without glowsticks. We get them every year.
Andrew, spinning his glowstick.
Ethan and his glowstick.We had a fun 4th of July this year. Of course it was miserably hot. I envy those people who can actually go outside for a picnic or BBQ and have nice weather. We were hoping a giant monsoon would blow in and cool us off, no such luck! We left early and went to Cold Stone Creamery for some ice cream. We learned an important lesson after spending a small fortune there. - No matter how hungry your kids "think" they are, just get a kid's sized scoop for them!
For fireworks, we went to a park in Surprise. We avoided the ballpark where the actual fireworks are. We learned the hard way a few years ago that there is only one road in and one road out. It took us over 50 minutes to get out of the parking lot that year. The park was nice and plenty of space for the kids to run around and play. They loved the grass. Living in the desert and having no grass, it's almost like snow to them. A treat! They didn't seem to notice the heat, humidity and lack of wind. The joy of childhood! They had a great time playing, then watching fireworks.
