Independence Day with Friends

For the past three years we have gotten together with our close friends to celebrate the 4th of July. We sacrifice a cow to the BBQ God's then we have a burnt offering in the street in front of the house. The children have fun running around playing but don't usually enjoy the light show at the end of the night. The noise is too loud for them, so K is usually the only kid out there playing with all the adults. After the big kids finish playing with fireworks, we sit back and watch the fireworks shot off at the rodeo, which we can see from the front yard.
