What We Did for the 4th of July

This year for the 4th of July, we were invited to a big BBQ.  There was food, there was a bounce house, there were water balloons and other water activities, there was great socializing, and at the end of the night, we all got a nice view of the local fireworks show- right from our friends' backyard.

We even let the kids stay up to watch the fireworks when we're usually fighting with them to be in bed at that time.  Hooray.  Win-win.
It was a good evening.
