Our Fourth of July party was a lot of fun. There were about 25 people. We packed it in early to head up the the city's fireworks display. Stephen, the kids and I parked at McD's just down the hill from us and then walked up the big long hill to the city centre. This was the first year that the city put on a fireworks display. The fireworks were pretty impressive. Our tax dollars at work! I think Stephen was disappointed that he did not have fireworks at our place. I just did not want to risk the fine for po$$e$$ion ($500!) and fine for lighting them off (another $500!).

Ash's dh ran out and purchased a Guitar Hero II game to play on the xBox 360. All of the dh's and the kids had a go at it. Of course they had it turned up loud! Our neighbour peered over the fence and gave me a "thumbs down". Might have been more polite for them to come over and ask us to turn it down. But then again it would have been polite if it had not been turned up to 11 in the first place. heh

Well, off to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a HOT day and I plan to take the kids to the beach.
