We spent the 4th in our backyard.
BBQing, wading pool, swinging on the swing set in the dark. The smells of basil and firecrackers permeating the air. Lydia wondered if cheese crackers would light up too. :)We ended the day with smores roasted over a charcoal chimney and camping in our little tent. Pretty perfect. (Collin and I decided against actually sleeping in the tent. That wouldn't have been fun for anyone.)
