Nighttime Activities on the 4th!

We tried some sparklers again...unfortunately Ayden accidentally touched the wrong part and got a little burn...ooops. Maybe next year will go better!
He did have a blast with his friend Tyler and all the other neighborhood kids over in Tyler's part of our neighborhood!
The yummy peach tart that I brought from the Farmer's Market that we enjoyed that night!
The crew watching the fireworks. Our friends neighbors actually went to South Carolina and purchased the kind of fireworks that shoot up, "rocket style" way up into the sky! We had nothing to do with the purchase of them, I swear (they are illegal in NC, but legal in SC)!! They sure were fun to watch! We were only about 40 feet back from the launching site, so we had a great seat for the show!

Fireworks, good food and friends all remind me of fun times as a kid at my Grandma Jean's house on the 4th of July. I sure do miss those parties! We went to my Grandma's 4th of July party from the time I was born until probably my early 20's...it was hard to move on from that tradition...but we have had a fun couple of years here in NC with some friends on the 4th!
