Celebrating Freedom

My family and I had our annual Fourth of July party last week. We invited our church friends and family to join us in celebrating the freedom of our country. I spent the evening chatting with friends, holding cute little babies, photographing everything, and eating loads of chips and dip (I could live on that stuff). As the sky drew darker and the summer heat began to cool, we all watched a fireworks show in a field near our backyard. We had such a blast. Here are a few photographs I captured of our little get-together. What did you do to celebrate Independence Day?

  5. Lovely photos, as always, Eve. Although (being a South African) I don't celebrate the 4th of July, I do love seeing photos and hearing about the celebrations happen. I'd love to be in the states on the 4th of July in the future to experience it for myself... ;)
