4th of July -- a little late.

We're going to try to catch up on several things that have happened this summer. Then we will resume with our England posts.

We stayed home for the 4th of July. This year, it was just us girls, so we decided to do our favorite fireworks -- SPARKLERS! We could entertain ourselves for hours with these awesome things!

Here's Emily trying to hold as many sparklers as she could at one time.


We always try to write our names with the sparklers. You have to slow your camera's shutter speed WAY down to catch the entire name, but sometimes it still doesn't work out because the person holding the sparkler cannot figure out how write their name correctly!
