After our crazy morning we headed to Adam's parents house for lunch and 4th of July activities which included the adults talking/playing games and the kids playing water games. Right away Megan was complaining about her stomach though she said she didn't need to throw up. I was certain she was not sick, but spent a good portion of my time lying down with her hoping she would start to feel better. It was sad to see Megan try to go play after getting encouragement from her cousins, but eventually she would make her way back to the bed.
The outdoor games...
Jared sprayed them with the water as I took the picture
While the adults played games Megan came in announcing that she was going to throw up. I did my best to get her out of there quickly before anyone else was exposed, but I just wasn't quick enough. I couldn't believe she was sick. I was hoping that wasn't the case, that she had just eating something, but it was apparent she was not feeling good. We decided to head home and leave the party behind.
So we had no choice, but to have a quiet fourth of July evening at home. Right when I thought we were putting the kids down for bed for the night, I convinced Adam to go outside and do the sparkler/fireworks we had bought and watch the ones going on around the valley.
Here is what we came up with...
And here we are lying in our backyard watching the fireworks. We saw about four different ones going off at the same time. It was very cool. After the kids went to bed Adam and I stayed outside and enjoyed the cool air. It was a fabulous 4th of July after all.

I'm sorry Megan ended up getting sick. You hustled her to the bathroom so quickly you deserve some sort of wonder-mom award.
We missed you guys last night, too bad you had to leave. I was hoping you'd say whether Meg got sick again or if she's alright today or not. Hope so.
You got some great photos, Amy! That's too bad about Megan getting sick. But it looks like you managed to salvage the day -- how great to be able to see the big shows from your own yard!

I am sorry Megan got sick! Jill told me that you have some amazing cat-like reflexes though!
