The 4th of July

(Note from Gab: This post has never been posted. Vivi's been waiting for me to put pictures up.):

On the 4th of July I couldn't quite tell you what we were going to do. But now that it's over, I can tell you about our day.

So...on the 4th we went to church first (of course)...and then we went to the pool for like half the day! Gab and I biked about 2 1/2 miles there and 2 1/2 miles back...Also, it was SUPER hot. I don't know the temperature...but know that it was very hot.

That night we went to a park with some friends to watch fireworks. Oh, you gotta see this--I drew in the air with my sparkler to make my name. Here are a few pictures: (Note from Gab: I couldn't get them to order themselves rightly enough to spell her name, so I just put some letters up there: V, I, S)

The fireworks themselves were great also. They took a while, but they were fun. When we got home (at like 10:30) we had to have milkshakes (that was a must) and set off the rockets we had...they probably woke the neighbors...but that's ok. We had great Independence day. How was everyone else's?

(Note from Gab: This picture is of glow sticks being carried around and thrown up in the air by little kids)

(Note from Gab: Some of these fireworks pictures were on a different setting, so it got the motion of the light when it was falling/moving)
