Okay, so I am terribly, terribly behind on my posts. So much happened in one month that I just couldn't keep up. So, I will be catching up one event at a time, beginning with the 4th of July. I love, love, LOVE 4th of July in Washington! It is so festive! Fireworks everywhere!!! This year was especially fun because we got to share it with my perfect in-laws and the amazing Campbells. It was such a blast. We used our before mentioned BBQ (Chad managed to catch his hand on fire again, melting the good oven mitt, but that's another story for another post), Mac and Angela brought the tastiest watermelon ever grown by human hands, and the Campbells brought an incredibly delicious salad and TWO yummy desserts. Then we sat in the front yard and watched the fireworks. Chad splurged this year and got a few pieces of "real" ammo, in an attempt to make up for the disgrace of last year's purchase (How were we to know? Where we came from $30 worth of sparklers and snakes wasn't only a big deal--it was illegal!!). It was super fun to watch his inner pyro come out and visit for a night. I think it is safe to say that roman candles are his new favorite toys.
Chad's total glee was so contagious that he convinced Angela to walk away from the tri-pod and give it try. (By the way, if you want to see real 4th of July pictures, check out her page)
Natalie wasn't the biggest fan at first, but by the end of the night even she was begging for her turn to play with fire. Washington is so perfect. I used to sleep through 4th of July festivities, and now it is one of my favorite holidays!!! Yeah for Washington!!!
