But Not Quite Enough

We lacked the patriotic spirit that lets one's children stay up after a long day for a long night of sparklers. Sorry.

We did let them sparkle a bit a week later, though. Millie loved them from the start.



She danced and spun around the lawn, singing impromptu songs about her wand of light and lighting the magic path, and such like lyrics.




Annie was scared for a long time, but she finally joined in, too,



and liked it.



This picture is hard to decipher, but when I saw one giant zucchini plant glowing, I walked over to investigate. Two vegetable gnomes were utilizing their lantern to check for squash.
Zucchini inspection is best done in the dark, I hear.
