Another 4th of July has come and gone. We had another great year with lots of pictures to sift through. To start the day we went to the parade, ready with bags to hold candy and our traditional water balloons.

For some reason cheerleaders have always been a favorite target.

| Ready, aim, fire |

After the parade we ate lunch, hung out at the carnival, and got ready for our annual BBQ- a 19 year tradition. This year we had 48 people.

This is me and my niece. She was born on my birthday. We both bought the same 4th of July shirt without the other knowing... great minds think alike ;)
Because Sam's b-day is so close to the 4th we always have a cake or something for her. This year we made red velvet cupcakes and put pop rocks candy on top of the frosting. When we bit into them they popped in our mouths like fireworks.

After the BBQ we packed up and went down to the park to listen to the band while we waited for the fireworks show.
