Neighborhood 4th of July celebration

DSC_0334

This is our neighborhood's second annual block party to celebrate the 4th of July. We have been planning this celebration for several months and it was well worth it.

DSC_0309This is Hyro, one of the spearheads of the celebration. All of the neighbors contributed with food, fireworks, shade covers, electricity, and water (for the water-filled bouncers for the kids).

How did you celebrate the fourth of July?
