This year, since Mark was off Wednesday and Thursday, we decided to celebrate our nation's birthday at Smith Mountain Lake with some of my family. Usually we stick around home to do stuff locally, so this was a fun change of pace. Fourth of July is pretty big up there and we had a wonderful time. The fireworks show was pretty late, so we had a couple hours to kill beforehand.
We checked-out the boats
Climbed a firetruck
Saw where the fireworks were going to shoot off and the crazy people that were sitting nearby.
Enjoyed a gorgeous sunset
And camped-out in the grass to watch an awesome firework show!
At first, Eli was a little worried about the loudness of the firework show but once things got started, he was totally into it. When it finished he declared to everyone that fireworks are "not scary" and that they were really cool. So glad he enjoyed them. Looking forward to having another little one to share our celebrations with this time next year!

I agree with Eli. Fireworks done right are NOT scary. A small town is the best place to celebrate our country's birth...they understand the idea of picnics and no frills celebrations. The added plus is this fireworks benefited the fire department that saved our house from burning down. Win on all fronts...great company, great fireworks, great fundraiser. Love the pictures and the family in them.
