Oh yeah---we also had a holiday last weekend. The irony of social distancing guidelines in place when we are celebrating Independence Day was not lost on me, but I believe what we are doing for the time being is for the good of our neighbors and for society as a whole.
Our gathering was limited to family members. Sadie was again a big hit, as she always is, seen here with Claudia (she, Scott, and Eden made the trek up from Lehi to join in on the festivities):
Danny, Jana, Ike, Tanner, and many others enjoyed snacking on some fresh cotton candy (which Adi made):
After enjoying a delicious variety of Fourth of July foods (hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and the like), we went out to the front yard for some fireworks.
The last time I got excited about seeing fireworks was probably when I was about 10 or 11 years old. But the kids love them, and that's good enough for me.
After sparklers and a few others of the more tame kind of fireworks, all heck broke loose. Two consecutive Roman candles went defective and shot sideways (JB said she heard something bounce off one of our cars) and, for an encore, also ignited a small fire on the lawn of the neighbor across the street. It was at this point we decided it was probably better to put a stop to the evening's fireworks.
Anyhow, it's always good to get together with family on such an important holiday.
