July 4th

As always, the 4th was fun but exhausting.  We started out at the local parade, then headed to a picnic and finally fireworks at Tripoli.  Before the fireworks, we tried to get some good pictures.  I forgot my good lenses, so they aren't the best quality but not horrible.  Guess it doesn't really matter since there is no way I am going to get them all to look at the camera and smile anyways!

 

Me and my girls!

For most of the day, Andrew was in full on superhero mode.  In fact, he kept saying it was Captain America's birthday. 

Here Mae and Ben spent a few minutes pointing and grunting at each other.  Note sure what Mae is laughing at here?

Andrew and Mae did pretty well at the fireworks.  Mae was a little scared at first, but then she did just fine.  She definitely didn't love them as much as the parade though, that was the highlight of her holiday.  Here she and Andrew are having a sword fight with the glow sticks. 

The kids were totally exhausted when we got home at 10, I can't remember the last time all 3 fell asleep in the car. 

 Check out Grace, totally passed out with the seat belt over her face.
