July 4th

The fourth was a pretty solid day. Maria and Mike's fellow INR Bill came over and we walked down to our neighborhood block party. Elise was thrilled that she got to jump to her heart's content in the big bouncy jumpy thing and ride a series of toy cars. I made some Hollywood no-no's (Rochester people should fondly remember these) for the occasion and I think they went over pretty well.
Later Mike grilled a beer butt chicken and we had the pleasure of watching fireworks from not one, not two, but three locations right from our own backyard. Amazing.

And much later, Mike and some wine convinced me to light Roman candles. It was too much fun for me and now I'm hooked.
