OK, so I'm really late in getting anything posted; what else is new? My sister was here for the 4th (mainly because of Dad's B-day). We attended the yearly fireworks display near Mom's, and the parade the morning after. I know that's it's good to have family traditions. I know that the kids look forward to this stuff all year long. But don't you ever feel like you're taking the same picture year after year? Yes, it can be nice to compare the photos and see how much they've grown, but after 15+ years it gets hard to make the scrapbooking pages look different from all the previous years.

So here are the obligatory photos: My annual 4th of July family photo.

The kids playing at the nearby playground.

Everyone with their glow sticks. (Okay, this was new. Grandma bought the packages at the party store so we didn't have to pay the outrageous prices from the vendors - not that we would have). The pictures turned out rather interesting. I should have brought my tripod.

And the fireworks. (Again, I should have brought my tripod).
