We hosted a barbecue to celebrate the 4th with some great friends. Although it was 100 degrees everyone had a great time! Mike woke at 5am to begin the long process of smoking a brisket, some sausage and two chickens. This was his first time to use the smoker he received for his birthday and the results were finger licking good!
Quinn "helps" make the cupcakes.
Wesley watches us prepare.
Heather and Wesley are ready for the party to start!

Quinn, Kate and Miles enjoyed driving the Jeep around the backyard while the grown ups played traffic patrol to prevent any collisions with trees.
Quinn enjoyed her first sparkler.
Quinn enjoys her second, third and each subsequent sparkler. She also loved all of the fireworks that followed. She would ask for "more, more way up there".
Kate liked the sparklers but didn't much care for the loud fireworks that followed.

We had a blast! On the way home Kate was saying "no more fireworks in Kate's sky"...
