sparks fly

this year the 4th exclusively consisted of

husband and i

while doctor was pulling his 24 hour shift on the 3rd, i went with neighbors to see the beautiful firework show that our town puts on

[the day consisted of justin coming home at six am from the hospital me: studying and more studying. then after he got enough sleep, he did stuff around the house]
it was fun to take a break and go out to dinner and celebrate being americans!
we had american food in honor of the holiday :)

we went to crocker park and walked around the shops, I FOUND SPOON ME. frozen yogurt DOES exist.. just not online when i looked it up . haha
they had a cute little fair. reminds me of the notebook.

because j had long hours the next day .. we decided to do "fireworks" of our own.
it was fun doing them in our driveway. oh how we love having a driveway.
i love when he sits like this, i call it his "child pose"

black snakes! we had fun racing eachother to see whose snake went the longest/fastest.

love this.sparklers! favorite!!

smoke- overload

i think we lit nearly fifty sparklers.
since my family couldn't be together- we still kept the tradition of wearing our fourth shirts
