4th of July

We had a low key celebration at home. We played outside despite the cruddy weather, had a yummy BBQ with banana boats for dessert (bananas with chocolate and marshmallow warmed on the grill), and attempted to do some simple fireworks. The kids enjoyed the day until we got to the fireworks. Much to our dismay, both kids hate all forms of fireworks including sparklers and pop-its. We did manage to get Lacey to throw a few pop-its, but Benjamin wanted nothing to do with them.

This was as involved as we could get him

Heidi was the only one who didn't mind the fireworks

Reluctantly 'playing' with sparklers (not sure what happened to the rest of her clothes)
