The kids enjoyed playing with sparklers before we went to watch the fireworks. We were lucky enough to see 3 fireworks shows this year thanks to friends who invited us to their 4th of July parties. I took the kids to my company's 4th of July activity and it was a really good time for the kids. There was plenty of food, games for the kids, face painting, clowns making balloon animals and of course, ice cream! I really enjoyed the day off, but it was too short as always. Those middle of the week holidays just makes your whole work week seem weird. And--unfortunately, I am not high enough up on the food chain to get the entire week off work. Oh well, maybe next year!
