Fourth of Julys

That's right folks. You heard me correctly. Multiple Fourth of Julys! The Fourth just happens to be my favorite holiday of the year. Taking a bunch of hoo-ha from Christmas lovers is of small consequence. So, in order to maximize my Fourth intake, we have two celebrations! Our first is the annual Visalia Rawhide fireworks display on the third. It has become tradition that we have dinner with the family then head to the baseball game. We enjoy sitting in the pasture which is a patch of grass out in right field. A little bit of baseball, some snow cones, some family time, and some fireworks. Not a bad way to start the holiday!

Some treats and a ball game.



Then, the fireworks begin!

The stadium does a great show every year, it is always fun to watch.

The finale at this particular show is one of my favorites.

Then the official Fourth of July party begins! The family cooks up some great food and we hang out in the pool waiting for the sun to go down.

Of course, no party is complete without the God Bless America fruit bowl.

Heather cooked up some yummy pies! Apple and blueberry.

She also made some fun cups for the kids to drink out of.



Since it is my favorite holiday, I have fun hanging out with Isaac and preparing the fireworks for display. We start off with the smaller ones of course, and end with a bang!

That pretty much concludes the celebrations. We always have fun and the next day I am off in my own world trying to figure out how we can make the next day bigger and better. Tune in at this time next year to find out!
