Root beer floats with the Bates
Daniel surprising us all with his "arts and crafts" side, as he builds various structures to blow up
The kids getting ready for some firework fun
An innocent little house, unaware of what is about to hit it
Everyone crowding around to "help"
Ready to light
Investigating the damage. There were several army guys who did not survive, much to the delight of everyone investigating.
Rachel wearing her favorite patriotic vest. She looks forward to the 4th of July every year, just so she can wear it. It's going to be a sad day next year when it gets passed down to Lizzy.

Oh man, reading that just made me start craving root beer floats in a serious way! Dang, now I'm not going to be able to think about anything else till I get me one! : )
Looks like a super fun 4th of July! Rachel is too cute in her patriotic vest. And I must say, Lizzy seems like the happiest child ever! She always has the hugest smile on her face!
This year I was watching our little production with our neighbors and I laughed because I thought Adam looked a little out of place with all the other dads. He would get so excited building platforms with all the other fireworks and making a point to tell us the name of every firework he would light. It made me think of what a great time we had with you guys at our home a few years ago. I think Daniel helped him embrace a little of his clepto tendencies and now there is no shame.
What a party! Our 4th sadly involved no explosions of any kind (accept the city ones I guess).
