Our beautiful Rowan, giving us her biggest smile and checking out the beautiful night sky. The skyline was definitely getting ready for fireworks. Since the sun comes down sooner on the west coast here, the fireworks are at 9pm instead of 10pm back in Michigan. I definitely like 9pm much better for getting the kids to bed at a decent time.
Rowan had fun practicing her photographer skills while we patiently waited for the fireworks!
Here is a video of the awesome firework finale! It was a great show, but for all of you Detroit firework fans, there is nothing like feeling the ground shake by the Detroit river.
After climbing up the cliff after the fireworks, there was a group of people just hanging out using sparklers. I just love how kind and generous the people are in our new neighborhood. The kids were thrilled when they were offered a sparkler to whirl around! Kierce's was the last one to go out!
Since the traditional marshmallow fight after the fireworks is geared toward the adult crowd, we decided to have our own version at home! It was a game more than anything, and definitely put smiles on all our faces. Ryan of course had the best aim, and he kids took their turn tossing them in our mouths and mostly at our faces too :) Either way, I am thinking that this tradition will stick with our family no matter where we live!
