We celebrated Independence Day this year with Mike, Carla and family at their house in Sacramento, which meant a couple of great things: we got to see the “girl cousins” and the boys got to try their hand at fireworks for the first time. The kids had a great time in the pool while the adults chatted.
It was really nice to spend the afternoon with Mike and Carla, and we also got to see Carla’s parents who joined us. I haven’t seen them in ages!
After dinner and before the fireworks, the kids did some marshmallow roasting and s’mores eating.
And then we gathered out front for fireworks.
The sparklers were a hit.
After the sparklers we lit some other fireworks and watched the magic of things like Red Devil and Purple Rain.
