We had folks over on the 4th for food and chatter and fireworks in the backyard.  The food and chatter was fun, but the fireworks were a little nervewracking - much more powerful than I anticipated and it felt unsafe, so we didn't end up setting off the biggest ones that I bought.  The fireworks also terrified the baby.  Then to top it off we gave sparklers to the kids, but things got a little crazy and Nut Brown got a pretty bad burn on his foot.  Mr. Brown gave him a blessing with the assistance of one of the other dads, and the burn is healing just fine.  Altogether, a mixed holiday for us, though.
