Happy Birthday America!

These four started the day out bright and early.  Jake wasn't feeling too great so he stayed with the

kids.  I ran over to help with the neighborhood pancake breakfast.

This was Janell's first ride out on the road and she did great!

(Despite that look of hesitation there)

 We are ready to celebrate independence day!

 If you roast a hot dog just right Owen will demonstrate how to eat it

 

 Molly is getting some expert S'more instruction and it is worth the wait!

And now a few shots of our firework extravaganza.  

Camber missed it on the 4th so we did more just for her the next night.

 Owen's face :)

He'll be warming up to all the noise.

 We had one go a little too high!

Fireworks bring out the kid in all of us!

 
We really weren't trying to blow up your mommy, Owen!

My low light photography could certainly use a little help, but the kids were pretty cute!

 

Owen was much more at ease the second night :)

Hope you all enjoyed your 4th as much as we did...
besides missing our family who are far from us.
