We hit up Aksarben Village for a night of fountain fun, Jone's Brothers, and music on a blanket. We ate outside. Played in the pool. Had a slumber party downstairs. We had the Loveless fam over for dinner and explosions. And then they had us over for dessert and explosions.
We baked a flag cake for the 4th and Sydaleigh loved it so much she insisted in pictures with it.
The girls danced like no one was watchin'! They busted out some serious moves when the music started....they get that from me. :~)
"What up?! You got moves like this?! I don't.think.so!"
There was an emergence of some inner 16 year olds. If only our flag cake hadn't tasted so good they would have stuffed it full of fuses.
The kids got in on the action, using their sparklers to burn the driveway, ants...
leaves....
a bottle.....what?! "Whoa! They totally started that bottle on fire! Should we stop them or something?" blank stares.... :~)
(when I asked Sydaleigh later what her favorite part of the 4th of July was....she said starting the bottle on fire. ?!?!? Gerard blood runs deep in that girl. :~) )
This little one on the other hand was not a fan of the sparklers, or fireworks, or loudness of it all. This was the only sparkler she held. The rest of the time she preferred to content herself with throwing those snappers on the sidewalk.
Her and Hattie donned some very fashionable ear wear to help dull the noise. And Marvelly scoured the yard for fireflies.
It was a great weekend full of good food, friends, flying corn on the cob, cans shooting past the trees, laughs, bright skies, and happy moments! Until next year....Happy birthday to our blessed country!
