Baby You're a Firework

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine

Just own the night like the 4th of July

Cause baby you're a firework

Show em what your worth

Make em go Oh, Oh, Oh

As you shoot across the sky

Baby you're a firework

Let you colors burst!

We had another great 4th of July weekend!

We started it Friday with pizza with grandma and grandpa, fun times and drinks around the firepit, and a sleepover!

Early Saturday morning we headed to Bass Lake for the weekend.  In addition to Nana and Papa, Auntie Stina was there too...with lots of fun presents for the girls!

Saturday was a lot of swimming and a family cookout with Great Nani, Great Papa, Auntie Jam, Uncle Al, Auntie Chelsey, and Trevor.  WE did some small fireworks, mostly sparklers!  And of course, I NEVER would let Caitlin do the sparkler by herself so I could take a picture and then she would NEVER put the sparkler in her hair and then her hair would NEVER smell like burnt hair!

The next day we headed to Uncle Al and Auntie Jam's house for some swimming at their beach (and chillaxing from Miss Caitlin)!

We ended the nights with an amazing firework display thanks to Chelsey and Trevor...and the state of Indiana for making fireworks legal because it's really amazing to watch the fireworks around the lake.  Thousands and Thousands of dollars are spent on fireworks, and we were able to watch about 10 different shows!

The girls were EXHAUSTED after staying up late two nights in a row!   So tired Caitlin didn't even want to take off her lifejacket after our boatride home.

Monday we headed over to the Douglas' house for a BBQ with friends!  We brought our slip n slide and the kids had a great time...as did the adults!

It was a great 4th of July weekend with our family and friends!!!

And our countdown tells us it is 2 days till we leave for vacation!!!!  We are so excited and will try to update a picture or two throughout our trip!!!
