Fourth of July Fun and Scary Sparklers!

Zuzu did not like fireworks. This was her third Fourth of July and the most scared she's been. Daddy passed around unlit sparklers, and then after everyone else lit theirs, she begged him to take hers away and put it back in the box. So I took her inside, much to her relief. Once inside she wanted the doors and windows closed. She absolutely did not want to watch through the window. She relaxed once her cousins came back inside after lighting the rest of the fireworks. "Fireworks all done?" she asked happily.

Bear slept through everything.

This was a fantastic Fourth of July. The weather was ideal. And I spent it with my favorite people, my sister's family!

The kids did an art project that we are calling Fireworks in a Night Sky. And Uncle Todd did too.

There was also cookie decorating, berry cake baking, outdoor playing, and outfit changing!
