4th of July

We spent the 4th with our good friends, the Steeles. We barbecued (between rain showers), lit some mild fireworks, and hung out.

The Steeles are high school friends of ours from Farmington, and it is great that we've all ended up living within a couple miles of each other in O'Fallon (although we still don't get to see each other often enough). Ellie and Alivia go to the same baby sitter one day a week, so it's fun to watch our girls growing up together.

Ellie enjoyed her sparkler.

The kids playing with fire...under adult supervision of course (if you can call Jason and Josh adults).

Jacob and Ellie..another older kid for Ellie to idolize.

Andrea and Alivia.

The whole crew watching from the driveway as Josh and Jason entertain us with an amazing fireworks spectacular...and by amazing I mean a couple things that spun around and jumped about 3 feet in the air. This was a very kid friendly show.

After the show, we all went to watch the O'Fallon fireworks, only to sit in our cars for 30 minutes till we found out the fireworks were postponed until the following evening because of rain. We were all disappointed, especially Ellie.
