Happy 4th of July!

This year we celebrated Independence Day amongst a bunch of Rescue Swimmers and their families. We had a nice potluck and BBQ a top a hill at a friend's house.

We bought fireworks for the first time in years (fireworks have been outlawed in California for the past 10 years or so). We had NO IDEA what to buy! We spent $20 and got our fill of explosives. Unfortunately it doesn't get dark in Alaska this time of year until the wee hours of the morning. So, 9pm we shot off our fireworks in broad daylight.

Emily enjoyed playing with the sparklers and a tube-rocket-thing. She wasn't "super interested" in the fireworks...she was more interested in jumping on the trampoline these people had in their yard. She had a BLAST with that!

All-in-all we had a really good time and a wonderful 4th of July!!!
