An Adorably Suburban Fourth of July

The suburbs are growing on us!

There's nothing more American than a backyard BBQ, kids eating Popsicles with syrup dripping down their clothes, and gathering on the street to set off fireworks.

Our friends Erin, Richard, Bennett, and Erin's Mom Terri joined us for a little gathering and we had a blast!

George and Bennett are so much alike.  Not only in looks but behavior too, so it was fun watching them together.

Here are some pictures from the day:

Spending the morning at Pine Lake

Fighting over ladder ball, as always!

After everyone left and George was asleep, I started cleaning up and noticed these two out front watching the big fireworks shoot up behind the neighbors house.  The picture was too cute to pass up  :)

Then we broke out the sparklers!

Since Klahanie is unincorporated, we could legally set off fireworks this year, but all that changes January 1st when we become part of the city of Sammamish.

As such, big booms were going off well into the night, celebrating this final year.  It seemed like the whole neighborhood was going all out celebrating!

And while it was fun, it got old by 11pm  ;)


We hope you had a wonderful 4th of July celebration, too!
