My favorite holiday of the year!!
Every year, the city of Westerville puts on a very fun and patriotic 4th of July parade, complete with dancers, marching bands, flying candy and overhead fighter jets. Both kids are still at an age where you can just see excitement in their eyes. Nathan is especially overjoyed as the police cars and firetrucks drive by. It was a perfect, hot July afternoon for it! Afterwards, we enjoyed the evening cooking out with friends, roasting marshmallows and making s'mores, doing sparklers, watching fireworks, and then spending a very late night outside doing our very own firework show. Despite the fact that our neighbor took a hefty drive into the middle of nowhere for very cool and "illegal" fireworks, the kids were absolutely fascinated with the cheap black "worms" that you burn on the sidewalk. Go figure!

Nathan - oh so very serious about his candy collecting
Making s'mores!
It's not the 4th of July without sparklers!
