Fourth Annual Fourth of July Party

Yesterday, we attended the Ramsey's Fourth Annual Fourth of July Party. At least it was our fourth year attending their party.

I wanted a picture of the kids wearing their red, white, and blue outfits.  Wesley and Lydia are wearing hand-me-down outfits and we love the clothes!

This year I made sure that Wesley, Lydia, and Josiah ate dinner.  Last year, the older two didn't eat dinner; they just played.

After eating, the kids got pretty wet. They played with the water hose and squirt guns.  At one point, I saw Josiah with the hose.  Thankfully, unlike his sister, he didn't squirt anyone with the hose.

Michele made all the kids sit down for pictures before she gave them bomb pops.

After the bomb pops, Barry started handing out sparklers.

We watched the City of Falls Church fireworks from the driveway.

There were some fountains in the street.

The fireworks display lasted over twenty minutes.

This was near the finale.

I hugged Michele as we were leaving and said, "I hope you have another party next year!"

Lydia and Josiah fell asleep on the way home.  She slept until almost 10 this morning.
