It was a gorgeous 4th of July! We went to the wading pool in Millwood, played at the park, had lunch and naps and then a great BBQ with Grandma and Grandpa. The kids colored flags, we made a 'jello poke' cake and decorated it with blueberries and strawberries to make it a 'flag cake', and had our mini fireworks display out in the driveway.
We all had matching flag t-shirts ($3 at Walmart), and so we took some cute pictures of the kids (with our camera, so you won't be seeing them here yet), and then a couple of cute family pics as well. The kids did sparklers and pop-its, had baths and were in bed just in time for Mommy and Daddy (that's us) to take off to watch the big display downtown.
Uh, in Spokane it is actually illegal to set off fireworks, so our little display only included things that we figured didn't count because they didn't shoot up into the air. Let me tell you, im-press-ive. Yeah.
But the downtown display was awesome. We found a large patch of empty grass on the Riverpoint Campus of EWU downtown and had it all to ourselves. Then we jogged back to the car and beat the rush getting out of Dodge. BONUS! It was a great night.
Hope all y'all had a safe and happy 4th too!

We had a great night, too. It's not illegal in Pullman to light fireworks; they give you 36 hours or something. The keyword in this town is CONTROL.
Which would be fine for everyone if they made drinking while lighting them off illegal. I don't know how much drinking played into it but right before the city's display started some house/apartment building about 2 blocks from our house went up in flames. HUGE. We saw it from the park we were at across town. Scary until we found out it wasn't ours. Then less scary.
Sounds awesome! I wish we could see the pictures of your so cute kids and family.
just testing something...
