4th of July

The 4th of July. It's a day filled with family, food, fun and a whole lot of craziness. Enjoyable craziness that is. We have a wonderful parade which is made even more awesome because we bring water guns. Apparently holding a baby doesn't mean immunity from a water fight. Yeah, so I started it, but come on. I'm holding a baby!

In the afternoon we head on up to the cabin and have some yummy grub and a good time socializing and playing with cousins. We then come back down and do some fireworks, go to the city's firework display and then come back and maybe do some more fireworks. All in all, it's a great day and I look forward to it every year.

Jason and his new torch with Amelia holding the sparklers. A very efficient way to light fireworks. Plus Jason gets a new toy, I mean a handy new tool.
