The Fabulous Fourth!

America, America, God shed His grace on thee! And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!

After a yummy jelly coffeecake early Friday morning, Elizabeth left for work. She has been working for the past three years for a man who sells fireworks. (See picture)
The rest of the family got ready for the day. Around 4:00 p.m. our friends came over to celebrate. After enjoying a dinner of hamburgers, baked beans, and potato salad, with homemade ice cream and brownies for dessert, the kids were ready to start shooting fireworks. They had already went and bought some from Elizabeth's work. What a variety!
Everybody got to choose which ones they wanted!

Elizabeth got back home from work around 8:30 p.m....with 2 more bags of fireworks!
Were those kids ever excited! We ended our night around 10:30 but around town fireworks continued to go off, which made it a little hard to sleep.

But, we all had a wonderful day celebrating our independence!
