We started celebrating the 4th on the 3rd by going and checking out the Flags For Freedom display and then going to buy some fireworks! Ben was so excited about his smoke bombs, snakes, pops and sparklers! He just couldn't stand it and so we had to "practice" that night! Ben had an absolute blast!
The actual day of the 4th we pretty much laid low. Normally we go to Village Fest in the morning but everyone slept in so we just kinda said oh well there's always next year! Ben & Vince went to the pool while the babies napped.
Then we headed to Vince's mom's house for a nice small bbq. Ben insisted on making a "Happy Birthday America" cake so we made a red, white & blue cake and took it with us! Before dinner we stole Papa Jimmy's Jeep and took Ben for a ride-he now tells us daily we need to buy a Jeep! And I kinda agree with him! Papa Jimmy lit some super smoke bombs for Ben which he thought was so super cool compared to our wimpy smoke bombs!
We then headed home to put the babies to bed and wait for it to get dark enough for sparklers!
