Happy Birthday, America!

There are a couple of things that the boys do without fail every year at our ward 4th of July picnic: play some sports and catch stuff in the creek. This year it was baseball and baby tadpoles (which turned out NOT to be baby tadpoles after we spent money for a tank, food, etc.). I love having something festive to start our holiday mornings, and the kids enjoy themselves as well.

Luckily this year I got some classic shots of the kids with their friends. This first one is my favorite!

We also enjoyed another fabulous fireworks show in Elk Grove. We had great blanket space (thanks, Mom) and had fun playing cards while we waited for things to get started.
