Last year Lulu had a less-than-stellar July 4. Personally, I would prefer to stay home... but she talked us all into going to Annapolis for the fireworks. It was a somewhat hot evening, but we were all glad to be venturing out as a family unit... surprisingly, we don't get to venture out as a family often. Most often either Lulu is at her dad's house or we leave Bri with Fairy Grandmother. So, it was great to go out as a group.
For starters, we waited in line to get ice-cream at Storm Brothers. You always get ice-cream at Storm Brothers for July 4... no matter what.... even if it means waiting in line... you do it... and you do it with a smile.
Bro and Lulu got Superman ice-cream, in a cup, with a cone on top... much less a tad less messier this way.
Dear Husband got a cone.
I got a milkshake... and then remembered that I'm not supposed to be drinking dairy because we think that Bri is having an allergic reaction to the dairy that I drink. Lovely! I drank it anyways... in case you are wondering.
The fireworks started soon after we grabbed our seats.
During the fireworks...
Bro kept reminding us that fireworks are loud...
... Dear husband and Bri did some father/daughter bonding...
... and Lulu documented the experience for all of her facebook friends.
What is your favorite July 4 tradition?

Things change over the years.. We used to go watch fireworks.. Now we stay home and comfort our little furry darlings who are so terrified of the noise.
Well you know that July 4 is lovestoboat's birthday...so we usually celebrate that...but always see fireworks! It's nice to see you back.
