Independence Day 2013

 
 Every year I have pictures of the kids with fireworks.  Somehow I never get tired of them.

 
 
But this year the highlight of our day was running into a civil war reenactment.  We knew the reenactment happens every year at a park nearby, but we had little interest in watching.  What we planned on was a nice hike through a different part of the park to pass the time, so we could hurry up and get to the fireworks time!  We hiked until we came out of the trees into a clearing where a crowd had gathered to watch, and we just happed to be right on time.  The battle was about to begin!  We stayed to watch it, and everyone enjoyed it.  There were cannons and guns for the boys, big pretty dresses for Sydney, and horses for mom!  As for dad, well, he's just happy if  the rest of us are happy :)
