Playing with Fire

Happy Independence Day, everyone! We watched the fireworks display of Red, Hot, & Boom from a parking lot off 436 last night. Kristina was sleepy and only took notice of the lights when a large one would go off. So today Robert bought a few fireworks to set off for the kids. Kristina danced around with the sparklers and squealed as the larger displays were lit. After the final explosion she shouted "thank you!" and gave Robert a big kiss. We retired inside for ice cream and warm brownies before bedtime. I don't know that she grasped the historical significance of the day, but I doubt that she will ever forget it!
