Our 4th of July

It seems like every year I forget how much I truly do love the 4th. I love the festivities, the grilling, everyone running around in red, white and blue. I just love it all. 

We kept it simple during the day. We stayed home and I made red beans and rice and we just lounged about. Towards the evening the kids hit the pool and after it turned dark we bust out the glow sticks and sparklers. Oh and the watermelon. These kids can put away some watermelon. 

At several points throughout the evening the boy exclaimed "This is the best night of my life!"
