We got our yearly fill of sparklers, ground flowers, fountains, and every other non-dangerous firework(thanks to our neighbors), but this time the girls would actually hold them. In fact, they got quite possessive. That and the fact that they have no understanding of combustion made things interesting. It went a little something like this:

“Dad, can you light my sparklers?”

“Sure. Can you point it away from my face first? Ok, here we- No, that’s my leg. Teagan…Tea- OWWW!!!!”

Anyway, I asked them to all make their sparklers go in a circle for a photograph. As you can see, Reilly had a little trouble with the circle concept, as well as a wardrobe malfunction.

Hope you all had a Happy Fourth!
