4th of July evening

Firework shows are always tricky to plan for.  You have to arrive early enough to stake out a spot, but if you arrive too early the kids get bored.  So this year, I thought we would have some fun with glow sticks.  

Here is my USA Cutie.  She picked out her own patriotic outfit for the big day.  The kids had a great time running around this great big field for a while. 

But when boredom hit and it was starting to get dark, I pulled out the glow sticks.  Boy, were they are hit!  We had a great time posing for pictures and creating new costumes.  

Finally, the show started.  I didn't get any pictures, but it was a great show.  And, as a bonus, we even were able to see two other area shows from where we sat.
