Waverly and the Lemon

 I'm not sure why, but in my family sour items are a right of passage for the youngins in our family.  

If I can take my family's word, they got me with mustard and lemon when I was a baby.  Ever since, I have loved lemons.  I tend to eat them with salt sprinkled on it, so I don't do it very often because I already have damage to my teeth.  

Skye has loved lemons since she was a baby and now it seems that Waverly is going to like them as well.

Sparklers

 We are that one weird family that lights sparklers during the day.  I promise we have a reason, mainly because the big guy's youngest had to go home that night before it would be dark enough to see them better.

Next year, Waverly should be old enough to enjoy the pretty colors too.

They still had a blast, so I guess that is all that matters.

Athos v Fireworks

 Athos doesn't like loud noises.  We have been trying to break him of the habit of freaking out when it is this time of year and so far, while not completely gone, he does handle it much better than he used to.

It is still a little funny when he over reacts to things like pops and champagne poppers though.

4th of July Poppers

 We didn't do much for the 4th of July this year, since the big guy had to work. 

We decided to do some basic things with the big guy's youngest.  We bought some snakes, some pops, champagne poppers, and some sparklers the weekend before.

Snakes

 One of the things I remember growing up was snakes on the 4th of July.  It seemed like we always had them even when we didn't do much else for the 4th of July.  

When I was growing up in Chicago, we lived in an area where we didn't do much fireworks ourselves.  The main reason was that two of our neighbors actually sold fireworks to the ballparks in the area.  Every year, the two houses would compete to see who had the better fireworks display.  I don't know if those neighbors are still in my old neighborhood, but those days are still pretty fresh in my mind.

Talking to the Baby

 This little girl is such a cutie pie.  She is my saving grace.

I can't see her smile without smiling myself.
