Fireworks, backyard bonfires and s'mores

Luckily our local fireworks display was saved this year -- I think some cities around us lost theirs judging by the long line of cars trying to get on the highway after the show.  And while they were threatened by rain, the showers rolled through in the early evening and there was not much more than a few sprinkles around showtime.

While we were rather tired and cranky from the heat and activities of the previous day, the fireworks really perked us up! 

We finished up the festivities with some toasted marshmallows back at home while we listened to our neighbors shoot off a crazy amount of firecrackers and fireworks.  

Hope you had a happy and safe 4th of July!
