Our 4th of July in Ohio

I really do love the 4th of july! it is a fabulous holiday. Celebrating our independence. We started out with a 4th of July parade...those pics are at the bottom:). Looking back at all these pictures from the summer, I am so grateful for Cliff & Emily & their kiddos. They really did make our summer soooo much fun!

Ready to celebrate the 4th!
Waiting for Papa to get home from work so we can go to fireworks:).

SpARkLers! So much fun!

More sparklers with the boys & Mo. Looks like Mo is having fun too:). And those crazy cousins showing off their arm bands that glow in the dark kung fu style:).

Sam & No No waiting for the action to start.

This is what Sam thought of the action. He hid in my legs & clung to me for dear life. Poor little man. It did get better as the night went on.

Isaac's co-worker & his family.

The Martin Family.

Some of the Hoschouer's friends sharing their treats with all the kiddos:).

Think they wore themselves out?:) This is right after we turned out of the parking lot on our drive home.

And the 4th of July parade of course!

Super sweet cars, dogs, fire trucks, jugglers, balloons.

Children having fun & collecting candy being tossed too.

Happy 4th everyone:)!
