My family has a 4th tradition of laying out on the grass of the motel across the street from where the fireworks are set off. The fireworks are so close that you can feel the explosions and it is my favorite memory associated with the 4th. This year I felt that the kids were old enough to go and enjoy the experience. McKay loved it! Ellie fell asleep. There is always next year.
Getting all settled in with Lindsay and Aaron.
"Whoa Mom, maybe this is a little scary!" 
The anticipation was killing McKay. He was doing his excited face and bouncing in his seat.
And they begin.
Ellie is not quite sure.
McKay loved the fireworks. He had his eyes glued to the sky the whole time.
Ellie thought it was too loud for Sandy, her dog, and scary. Notice how Sandy is covering her eyes with her ears.
Ellie had a long day. The parade, swimming all day with no nap, and now staying up past 10:00. It was too much to take. She fell asleep DURING the fireworks.
