I forgot to post the pictures of our 4th of July. On the holiday itself we went to Indiana to be with Hubby's brother's family. He's quite the pyro and put together a 20-minute fireworks display on their own property. The guys spent probably 6 hours that day building boards and tying fuses. I was very impressed with the outcome, and it was great for me to put the little ones to bed and then just go outside and enjoy the show. Strangely, it was very cold that night. We made coffee and wrapped up in blankets. Seemed like it should be a football game instead of a fireworks display. Next year I'm going to set up a concession stand for the neighbors.
The weekend before the holiday, though, we went to the Bethalto fireworks in Bethalto, IL. My family attends church at Cornerstone, which sponsored the event. We didn't actually make it to the fireworks, but I hear they were really great. We went for all the games for the kids. They had clowns, pony rides, inflatables, face painting, eating contests, and other stuff--all for free. Even the snacks were really cheap. There was no alcohol allowed on the premises, and they had live Christian music on the stage (including my bff from childhood and my sister--they're famous!!!) If you're ever in the area around the 4th, you should definitely check it out.
