Our neighborhood had a little party on the 4th! (I must edit in how amazing our neighborhood is-really! They are the kind of people I would be friends with even if I didn't live right next to them;-)
We decided about a month ago to rent a large waterslide for all of the kids. There are 17 kids in our neighborhood ages 10 and under. They are going to grow up being best friends, and they are really just fun to watch. Everything just kind of fell into place after the waterslide.
We had tents for shade, because it was stinking hot, and a misting
system set up to keep us as cool as possible. Our little Rowan was in
the slide from noon until about 8:00 when we started fireworks.
We smoked some meat and everyone brought side dishes for dinner. I didn't get any pictures of the food, but it was a ridiculous amount!
Here are the highlights!

| Miss Patriotic! |
 |
| Rowan armed with the neighbor boys! Do you see his delight? |
 |
| He lived in this pool! |
 |
| Do you see the stress in Isla's eyes;-) She enjoyed the party, the people, and most of all the juice box! |
 |
| Sassy had to watch the big kids play! She just couldn't quite hang with them. |
 |
| The kids loved to chase parachutes. This is my favorite picture of | Rowan from the night. |
 |
| SpArKlErS! |
 |
| This boy loves "Firecracks!" That's what he calls them, anyways. |
 |
| Dad started letting him light some with supervision, of course! He loved it! |
 |
| This was about 11:30. He was one tired little boy who had a whole lot of fun~ |
It was a fabulous day that ended with a great show of fireworks in the cul-de-sac. When we were all done with fireworks, we looked in the distance, and we were able to see the majority of the lake fireworks from a neighbor's driveway. They were fabulous, and it was a great end to a day filled with great friends!
