Fourth of July this year was a SNAP!

Our last Fourth of July here in Oregon was a super fun!  We did our normal routine of BBQ, shooting off our own stash of fireworks, and heading out to the Fourth of July Celebration to watch the fireworks the city sets off.  It was a great night! 

The front door was all "flagged" out for the Fourth!

He headed to the local firework stand and pick up a few fireworks.  This year we went with the large sparklers.  

Unfortunately, Skylar learned the hard way on why you shouldn't swing around sparklers after they are done burning.  He was swinging it and it came back and hit him in the mouth.  :(
