4th of July








We had a fun 4th of July weekend. We went to my neighbor's house on Sunday and enjoyed some BBQ. Sunday night we watched fireworks from our driveway for the first time this summer. Eli thought they were really cool and he wasn't really phased by the loud noise.

It's been really hot here this summer, forecast is 100 everyday (at least) for the next 10 days. When we went outside to watch the fireworks we were surprised at how nice it felt outside. We found out a few minutes later why, there was a storm rolling in. We had some big rain drops for about 15 minutes, enough for us to take cover.

Eli really enjoyed throwing the snappers. I call them poppers and Eli calls them pops. We went through two boxes on Sunday and that was nothing. The next morning we went to Dunkin' Donuts and on the way home picked up 10 more boxes of snappers and Eli used up four more boxes Monday night. There were a ton of fireworks on both Sunday and Monday night. It's so nice to just watch the show from our driveway and not have to go anywhere.

Eli really loved the "pops" and if they didn't pop he would step on them and smash them!
