Happy 4th of July to everyone! Matt had to work this morning/afternoon. I took the kids to a baptism for a girl in the primary, and Mikelle really liked it. Then we went to the park, it was fun. It started raining and the kids had so much fun going down the wet slides super fast and getting soaked. The Knowles came over for a BBQ, root beer floats, brownies, and a jello flag cake; and the Nobles and Mike and Tiffany Johnson came over and hung out for a little bit. We had sparklers and the monster pop things for the kids that I had bought (and only spent $5), and also one firework to light in the street. Sam and Matt were not impressed; Matt said he was taking over the firework responsibility next year and Mikelle was crying and saying that she wanted more fireworks, so the boys left real quick to buy some more fireworks. They spent $20, and came back home to find...NO fireworks, just $20 worth of party popper things. Oh well, the kids had fun. I think I will still be in charge of fireworks though. All in all, we had a great 4th. I did miss the traditional homemade ice cream though - goal for next year: invest in an ice cream machine.

How fun! Your kids look like they had a blast on the fourth! That food sounds so yummy! We didn't do any of the fireworks but I wish we would have now, sounds like you guys had so much fun. (I totally want an ice cream machine too.)
