freedom!

our neighborhood is amazing when it comes to fireworks on the 4th of july. the show started around 8 o'clock and remained steady until 11 o'clock! everyone came out with their lawn/camp chairs to watch the brilliant display. we had a great time visiting with neighbors who we don't get to see or talk to often enough, and the kids had a great time just running around and taking it all in. we contributed only a little with our sparklers and mini fireworks, but lucas and emma loved them nonetheless. glad they're not picky! check out the cool picture that allan took of lucas playing with a sparkler. you can see more cool pics like it on his photography blog...go see!
