Hope everyone's fourth was great! We had a wonderful time full of bike parades, lots of swimming, good food w/friends, and of COURSE, fireworks. We spent the evening of the fourth at the home of some good friends who live on 3 acres. The husband had purchased several hundred dollars worth of some pretty impressive fireworks, and while he shot them off from the back of the property, all the kids(about 12 of them), climbed out a second story window and watched from the roof...so neat to have such big ones directly over our heads!

I think y'all get the coolest parents ever award! Watching fireworks from the roof... what a great childhood memory for your kids to have.
Well, I should have said all the older kids climbed out the window. We told Jack that he couldn't until he was six. He watched crying from the window....I don't think he thought we were the coolest parents ever:)
Hair, huh? Uh oh. ;)
