The 4th

If you're a fan of my facebook page, you might have seen that I have declared that 4th of July might be my new favorite holiday. I love Halloween, but I've never had a disappointing Independence Day. What's not to love about grilling, fireworks, and family?

We played with sparklers, and tried out making shapes in the camera. Only my baby sister was successful. 

I tried out some taking pictures of fireworks tips, and some pictures turned out fantastically. MUCH better than they have in the past! I captured colors and not all the pictures are terribly blurry, epic win for me. This was the first time I'd really ever been able to have fireworks in the yard, since growing up, all forms of at home fireworks were illegal. LAME. 

I felt good about it the whole time, but then when I was going through pictures I saw this. David with firework in his mouth, and a lighter in his hand. Husbands.

Our attempts at a nice family picture. Fail. We can't be taken seriously. Ever.
