| Our annual Fourth of July family pic |
Matching patriotic garb, delicious grilled food, face painting, backyard fireworks, a massive (ear-bursting) city fireworks show, this is how our family does America's Birthday. The kids look forward to the fireworks show with varying degrees of excitement, ranging from Max, who literally can't contain himself, to Audrey, who thinks even a sneeze is entirely too loud. Paul thought ahead and bought her some headphones, which we combined with earplugs to make the fireworks bearable.

| Earmuffs! |
At least we tried. When the city fireworks show started, we realized we were basically sitting directly underneath them, and they were deafening! Audrey curled up with her head under her blankie and didn't move for the entire show. About halfway through, we discovered that she was sound asleep! I guess that's one way to tune out the noise.
The boys put all they had into celebrating! They lit sparklers, got Icees, explored with Grandpa, and then sat mesmerized through the entire show. After Christmas and Halloween, I'm pretty sure the Fourth of July is their favorite holiday.
