It's become a bit of a tradition for us to spend 4th of July with some good friends of ours, only this year their city did the fourth of July fireworks on the 3rd? So we still spent the day hanging out and cooking out, eating good food, having a few drinks and enjoying each others company. The younger kids wanted to see fireworks, it's an American tradition to watch fireworks ON the 4th of July ;) so when it started to get dark we headed out back to McKinney to watch our local fireworks display. They have the celebrations not too far from our home so we just drove into the next neighbourhood and found a spot near an empty lot of land that looked out toward where the fireworks would be. We were the first ones to get there, so we had plenty of room to get our chairs out and hang out while we waited. Some of the people who lived on that street where setting off fireworks on the road so this kept the kids entertained while we waited. The June Bugs were in full swing and kept running into us but other than them it was a nice relaxing wait.
Soleil and I waiting for the fireworks, it was late (almost 10pm) and she was tired.
The big kids, Madeleine looks pissed off because she was. She didn't really want to leave her friends to see the fireworks and the june bugs were annoying her! The boys were watching the fireworks in the street.
Soleil liked the fireworks
Finn really enjoyed them!
