4th of July - California

July 4, 2011 by Dad.

We had a couple of days in the new house behind us and then it was 4th of July and the big question was where we could go to watch fireworks. Each city seems to have their own laws about fireworks, some do not allow them at all, some will allow the sale of fireworks but not the use of fireworks, while others seem to have no rules - so rather than take a chance any buy and use we figured we would let somebody else take on the task of entertaining us this 4th of July. We had to dress for the occasion - all red, white and blue and once the kids were dressed the mother needed to get herself ready so I had the kids wait for her. This was easy for all of about 3 minutes, I even have pictures to prove they say still and did wait.

Then things got silly and Cezanne and Etienne started running around and doing gymnastics in the vacant space in our living room. Etienne has become quite good at copying Cezanne when she does her handstands and round offs.

Finally we had to pose for our annual 4th of July photo - I think we ended up taking 30 or 40 photos and none of them were really any good - trust me, this was the best of the lot !
