3rd of July Celebration

This year we celebrated the 4th on the 3rd because Ben and Stacey were leaving very early on the 4th for their trip.
We had a wonderful day filled with much visiting, laughter, family and good food.

Here is our Little Miss 4th of July!

We made homemade ice cream too.

We've never made it before, but it turned out very delicious.

I took a picture of Ben and Elsa while Ben took a picture of me.

What's this I see?

Ben enjoyed popping out of this thing and scaring me half to death!

Time for hamburgers!

Chris and Ben put together the BBQ.......just like old time, Ben!

Even the big kids take a turn on the swings.

Getting ready to go outside for the fireworks show.

Rhaevyn and my mom do Roman Candles.

I was surprised to look over and see Elsa asleep.

I can't believe she was sleeping through all the explosions.

Myles, Elsa and my Mom watch fireworks out the window on the 4th.

Here is a bit of our fireworks show Lindsay style thanks to my Mom.
