America's Independence (a day early)

Since 4th of July was on a Sunday this year, we decided to do our family celebration on the 3rd. We went to a local park and played in the water features they had there. My in-laws tried to BBQ hot dogs, but it was waaayyy too windy, so we went back to our house to grill inside. The kids had fun, so that's all that matters :) Later that night we went in the front yard to do our kids' favorite fireworks: sparklers!! We also did some Glow Worms, which Cole calls Worm Turds (since that's what they really look like).
The lighting of the sparklers.
