Well here I sit on the night of the 4th. It feels weird to not be doing anything special on the 4th, but we celebrated yesterday. Our town had fireworks last night. So we did the whole firework thing last night.
We met up with a bunch of people from our church and had a primo spot with a big field and no crowds! The kids ran free with all their friends, and the adults talked. Ok, the women talked, the guys played football, basketball, and frisbee.
It was all fun until the fireworks started. Caleb and Haleigh turned and ran for us as fast as they could. I think they enjoyed them once they were in our laps ears covered. This was the first year Micah didn't have to be near us to watch them. They were pretty good fireworks for the little town of Wake Forest!

Today we made sure we cooked out, swam in the pool, and wore our red, white, and blue. So we are still patriotic. In fact, Ed is currently being very patriotic wearing his "Proud to be an American" tee and watching The Patriot. He's so American.
