Happy Birthday, America!

Brendan, Cameron and I were part of this year's annual 4th of July parade in town. My bank did an awesome job of putting together a float, which we walked along with... After walking through almost the entire parade route, we stopped to watch the rest of the entries so the kids could catch some candy...
Then, as soon as nightfall hit, it was time for fireworks! First, sparklers!

Then a shot of one of our small fireworks - the big ariels are too hard to capture - they took aournd an hour-and-a-half to shoot off in total and were awesome!!
