Firecracker Day!

We had a fun 4th. We actually went to see fireworks on the 3rd with our good friends, the Johansens (Clara and Ellie's friends, Luke and Hannah). Luke kept saying "You know what day it is? It's Firecracker Day" very loudly--he was trying to get everyone's attention in the ball field where we were sitting. He and Clara ran all over getting the word out:). Ellie snuggled with her blankie (we had to wake her up to go). Rog worked on the 4th, but the girls and I went to see the parade. Clara has become quite skilled in gathering candy and Ellie learned quickly (about 1/2 hour into the parade, she realized what that stuff was they were throwing). They came home with at least a year's supply. Ellie especially enjoyed waving her flag.
