Fourth of July

Since Jonathan had to work the night of the Fourth, we did our own little fireworks on July 3rd. Jonathan went out and got a few mild fireworks and the girls were so excited.
Well, Lucy was a little nervous at first...
 ...but pretty soon she was loving it. She was very determined (of course) to do sparklers, even when she held them wrong and they were hurting her, she wouldn't stop. She wasn't going to let anything stop her.
 The girls loved the smoke bombs the best.

 Lucy had a blast.
 I know if we had boys, Jonathan would buy some of the big stuff. As it is, he enjoyed the smoke snakes.

 Ah, my Sami girl. She's growing up so fast.
 
 Janie made some good faces for me. Here she was surprised by some noises. It's like she didn't know fireworks made noises. She is all girl, this one.

This one is my favorite though. I laugh every time I look at it. She is trying so hard to pull that string. Here face just cracks me up.

 I like this one because all the girls are lined up, youngest to oldest.

Happy Fourth of July!!

I love the expressions of the girls and the "stick to it" tenacity of Lucy - that's why I have a couple of tiny 4th of July scars and am proud of them!
