We had a fun and low-key fourth of July.  Actually, our celebrating was done on the 3rd because that's when the fireworks were scheduled in our lake front neighborhood.  There's a guy with an empty lot down by the lake, and he hires a fireworks company and sets off an insane amount of fireworks.  We usually watch the show from the neighborhood pool, and I love seeing all the lights of the boats on the lake that are parked to watch the show.  You can see them in the bottom right of this photo:
Below are some more fireworks shots.  I feel a little guilty because Rebecca fixed the settings on the camera and just handed the tripod to me.  I only cropped these and did nothing to enhance the color.  Hey, I didn't choose the watermark "Lazy Susan Photography" for nothing!  
I took a few shots of the kids decorating cookies:
And last, but not least, we did a little photo shoot in our patriotic colors right after church.  Disclaimer:  Rebecca took most of these.  I only took the one of the four kids.  It was Terry's idea to do the "Iwo Jima" pose.
