the family torrone

We spent the 4th at the McDougalls' with Britty,

Hunter and both of their parents who were here from

Vancouver and Chicago.

Lots of great fun and food.

It was a really long day but the fireworks

were worth the wait esp. for Will and Henry.

the gang in our usual spot

So happy and delirious that they are still

awake 2 hours past their bedtime

Lovin' Jack's sparklers

stunned by the fireworks.

I think our view was better than ever this year.

I'm not usually impressed by the whole scene

but this year was really great.

Will was out cold before we made it to the end of the block

and this morning reported that the fireworks were

"BIIIIG and, and, and LOUD!!!"
