The 4th of July is up there with one of my favorite holidays. For the past 5 years we have celebrated at our house on the 3rd with a big party (the 3rd because they shoot the fireworks off down by my house on the 3rd!). Our parties have tamed down a bit as we all have had children, but they are still a blast! This year, like last year, Jesse went crabbing with his friend. They did a great job and caught about 100 crabs in the scorching heat.
Yummm
We had lots of friends to help eat them and everyone brought more yummy goodies to share. The kiddos had their own table to eat at and I had the swimming pool set up for a splashing good time! Once the kids dried off and ate, we set up our moon bounce and they bounced away. It's so much fun to see how they have grown and changed over the last couple years. At first, they were in bouncy chairs and high chairs and now they can play on their own. I look forward to watching the current group of babies grow up and join the fun.
Finally its dark and we head down to the fire work show with glow sticks and glow necklaces. Jacob loves fire works and talks about them all the time! The girls liked them too and weren't afraid at all! Thankfully it did not rain during the fire works this year!
Our gang of kids is ever growing!
Ready to watch the show!
After the fire works, we all walked back to my house for some sparklers and other explosives. It's soooo nice not having to deal with traffic!!
Mommies lil firecracker!
Twinks in their 4th of July dresses!!
For the actual 4th of July I took the kids to Solomons Island and hung out with friends. It was so hot and humid, but the firework show was awesome! A good time had by all!
