Happy July 4th!

We had a good 4th of July and celebrated by going to a friend's house for a BBQ.  Every year, they host a huge get-together and it's been their tradition doing this for over ten years.  Now over 60 people attend.

The kids stuck their heads into the thing they have set up.

There were games and one of them was a water balloon toss.  Gabe and Eliana did pretty well.

In the evening, we headed over to Uncle Hugh's house for fireworks.  The kids got to do sparklers.

Always a fun activity.

Under the supervision of big Cousin Daniel, Xiao also enjoyed watching some mini-fireworks get lit.

And we all watched the big fireworks go off that were set up by the neighbors.  Hope you had a good 4th!
