Celebrating Independence Day

Our church has an annual picnic that is part of our traditional activities if we are in town. We eat too much yummy food with friends and this year we stayed to play for a while before heading home for late naps in preparation for the late night. Mark brought our Kubb set and the kids played Frisbee and made sand castles. That evening some friends stopped by and we ate popcorn and watermelon and popped party poppers and lit sparklers and played with glow sticks while waiting for it to get dark. The town fireworks are set off from a barge on the river and we walked the big kids to the shoreline park to watch. I remembered there being more noise the last time Mark and I went, but it wasn't overwhelming this time. The kids liked seeing the show.
