happy independence day!

What a perfect laid back, lazy day we enjoyed. We ate grilled pork tenderloin, baked beans, and cheesy garlic polenta all topped off with a blackberry cobbler and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The boys had a lot of fun playing with the sparklers I had picked up.

Then we headed into town to see the big fireworks. We waited until 20 minutes before the show was supposed to start to head over and somehow managed to score the perfect parking and viewing spot.









The boys loved the big fireworks! With every explosion Ben shouted "fire in the hole!" and Alex breathed in awe "cooool".

It was a very late night for Alex, so he did not make it for the 5 mile trip back home.
