Fourth of July

This year was pretty quiet for the fourth. We wanted to keep the boys up to do a few fireworks so we had a pretty low key morning. We grilled hamburgers for dinner and had watermelon, potato salad and corn- a wonderful summer meal! Then after playing outside for a while we roasted marshmallows and made smores. This is the first time either of them have had this wonderful dessert so they were thrilled. Will jumped right in and ate his like a sandwich- Jake took his apart and ate the chocolate first and then the graham cracker and marshmallows. Once the sun finally went down, around 9, we set off a few fireworks that we had purchased. They thought these were fun but loved the snapping ones the most- you know the little ones that you throw and they pop. Those were the biggest hit. Will keeps reminding me that we need to go to the store and get some more, which is not a problem here because there is a permanent fireworks store just a few miles away.
